Is it necessary to clear so much land? Its sad to hear of nyone having to destroy so much forest. Iys happening too often. Unless your clearing the land to produce space for a large farming area but even so

Hello Punabound and Frank,

I have decided to wait to clear the land. My best estimate to relocate is in three years. Until then I won’t be able to take care of the land on a daily basis, which would be needed or the land will just get over grown again. So as much as I would like to get it cleared, it’s best to wait.
Frank, the land is x-cane land and isn’t really a forest, it’s mostly scrub growth. Also my intent is farming. That’s what I dream about daily – farm my land. Growing fruits and vegetables is my goal and dream. And I’ll be there in three years! That’s not too long. Especially when you consider I left 30 years ago! I can hardly wait to get back Home!

Sounds great with the fruit! Good idea. Too many times I hear of people coming here buying big lots and clearing them out and not doing anything in particular with it. Im glad to hear you at least have a game plan a good one. My lot is mostly forest and Im going to keep it that way. I may put a trail going thru it to end so I can at least have access to rest of my lot but that is it. Good luck ith the land.

My own experience has been that most people try to clear lots selectively if and when they learn how. Over and over again I hear the dismay of people who hire someone to clear their lot for a home and are shocked to find it leveled instead of a house site prepared within the trees. There are ethical workers out there who clear lots properly, providing for homesites, landscaping areas for gardens and such and still leaving natural areas.

Keep a positive attitude and be present when your lot is prepared. It is lovely here and we dan all keep it that way.



May you live in interesting times.

Sounds like a good plan David

If your X cane land is anything like my X cane land it is rough. Can't tell you how many times I've tripped over the uneven ground. The grass sure can grow tall though, over 6 ft in places. I just bought a tractor, with brush hog and rototiller. I'm hoping not only can I keep the grass manageable, but over time smooth out some of the rough areas. I'm figuring the tiller will get me a great garden area. I also got a post hole digger as I plan on lots of fruit trees.
As Pam said, best to be there when you get it cleared. Too many horror stories of bull dozers being run by those who either don't know the land or perhaps just don't look past their $$$ per hour.
Keep us updated.
