So after the wind died down in late afternoon I was using a propane torch to make the holes, lifting up the fabric and burning, which worked well. However, this stuff is very flammable and not easily extinguished, and out of sight sight a hole I just made was still burning, and growing fast. I noticed it quickly, thank God, and scooped up some dirt to put it out, but then realized some of the polypropylene fabric stuck to a couple fingers! I tried to brush it off and sprayed them with a water bottle I had by the side. But while that worked, an area on my thumb on one hand and little finger in the others were badly burned, which put my out of action for the night.
Cool water brought temp relief, and keeping hands raised for a couple hours.
Back in the garden this AM, though thumb is rather disabled. And a another brother in Christ and wife just showed up with a small Apple tree, praise God. Where to put it? Parking lot is to the left until the brown compost bin, so it looks like it must go in after that, though sun (facing SW) decreases due to buildings. May I abide in the Lord Jesus and bear more fruit better.
