I tackled this last section of the blueberry patch today. I needed to dig up all the plants and move them and also remove most of the dirt as there was too much dirt which I made from mulch over the years.
The chickens were taking it easy when I started.
Digging up the plants
I had to dig up the plants one by one and then push them over to the new spots. This one is ready to move.
Moving the plants
I dug the hole good and deep so I can fill it up with mulch material. This bush just needs to be moved a couple feet to the left where I have a deeper hole dug out.
Dirt to the dirt pile
Most of the dirt was hauled out of the enclosure to the dirt pile that is getting rather large now.
I kept at it and around 6PM I’d done all I could do for one day. I got it all dug up and ready to receive some new mulch when I can get to it.
Let the chickens in
The chickens were at the gate asking to get in most of the day as they love to get into this pen and scratch around a lot feeding.
So once I was done I cleared out my tools and let them in with the blueberry plants and they loved it.
Nice big dirt pile
I did get a nice pile of dirt out of all this replanting. I’m sure I’ll find some uses for it eventually.
I was pretty worn out by now so I was dragging my butt and not moving very fast, but at least I was still moving. :O)
The biggest part of that job is done. I still need to haul some new mulch in when I get a chance in the next few days.
There are over a hundred pictures that are served up randomly every time you visit or change pages. They are of earlier pictures of interest and also some just to remind me of things.
A Sony AX33 4K, a video camera that takes stills too. What am I doing with that? I take pictures from my Kayak a lot. I found I was missing interesting shots, because my pic was being processed in my camera, before it would let me take another pic. Since I like to take what I call action stills, I bought this camera to take videos, that I could make stills out of, but, as a bonus, this camera also came with buttons to just take stills and that's what I mostly do, unless something is real interesting or too far away for my still zooms. My digilat zoom setting for video goes to two hundred x, and sometimes I need that, but usually, I only use the 10x lens zoom. Because this camera is HD and 4K, the quality has to be real good and it has a lot of stabilizers on it which really helps out a lot for taking pics on the water.
The other thing it has that is a must is a view finder and I had to buy Sony's top of the line cam to get it. This is a must for taking pics on the water, as you must hold the camera as still as posible and putting that eye piece to the eye forms a tripod with your arms that helps a lot. The eye piece is also a must as it works way better than a LED screen to see what you are taking a picture of in the daylight as the LED screens wash out easily in sunlight.
I also have another video camera, a Canon VIXIA G30. I use them both to mostly take stills. The Sony takes higher resolution stills than the G30. That was a bit of a disappointment as I bought the G30 to replace an older camera I dunked in the river, but then had to buy the Sony to get higher still picture resolution that the G30 was lacking.
