Summer time and the honey do list just keeps growing. Got another issue at hand and need some suggestion.
I got a 40 ft (approx) by 5 ft decline by the side of the house that goes down to the ditch. Even a slight rain will accumulate water in the ditch, causing all kinds of weeds to grow that later deposits seeds in my yard. It is also a pain to mow due to the gradient as well as water accumulation at the bottom. My plan is to remove all the grass from the incline, make about couple inch deep cut, cover it with black plastic and than fill it with gravel or something like that so nothing can grow there.
My original plan was to just till the area with my tiller and then shovel all the grass and soil away. With all the heat and not wanting to kill my back, I am wondering if that is a wise plan. I am now wondering if I can use a Backhoe to dig up the dirt and grass from that area. Got no experience with a Backhoe, but was wondering if what I am thinking is possible.
