POND week FINALE day6 !

What happens here

The video opens with an overview of the landscape project. The creator, Stan, points out an area of bare soil on a slope next to his pond that needs to be revegetated and stabilized due to previous erosion from heavy rain and activity from his German Shepherds. He introduces the concept of using a 'straw blanket' as a biodegradable netting with woven hay that helps to tie the slope together until new vegetation establishes. He also mentions the need for sod and plans to visit a local greenhouse/supplier for plants.

Goal: Understand the erosion problem and plan the use of straw blankets and sod for stabilization.

some of you guys may be asking is it better to lay it this way or this way blah blah blah blah blah blah blah but that's what I get for thinking it's better to lay it this way I got lazy and I did it this way just level out the all your dog prints you can do it this way requires more of these things [Music] uhoh the wife is thinking we're getting stuff finalized finally so the work after the main work is done I bought 100 cads yesterday off of Amazon my son said he'll never go swimming in it again they we're freaking monster C we have to reestablish this slope that is one of the the the key things that I need to do to to tie all this vegetation so we're going to be using something called a straw blanket and what that is is that is a biodegradable netting that you staple to the slope and it has hay woven into it and what that does is it's it doesn't seal the slope by any means so everything can grow up and through that slope but it ties the slope together and until your vegetation can get reestablished so we're going to uh we're going to go down we got a local Greenhouse here that uh hopefully should have what we need we we'll grab that plus we're going to grab all the plants to redo this slope and then we're also going to be uh sing up here as you can see at the German Shepherds bear come bear and I don't know where baby is uh the German Shepherds have just trampled the heck out of this we had this all nice and hand raked out yesterday but they need to get out and go potty so this is going to get Rehand ra and then new sod will be put in place and six-way Staples because of him he has this weird fascination of lifting it up tearing it and then shaking it like it's a dead animal that uh did an injustice to his mom dad cuz I don't get it personally but every single piece of side even on the flat ground is going to be six-way stap one in each Corner two in the center to keep him from rooting them up tearing them apart as much as possible Zach I'm giving you the camera when you
