This is the lot next to us.
It is full of Brazilian Pepper trees, which are an aggressive invasive species.
These cover the landscape and allow nothing else to grow. Working with them gives one an itchy rash and if you burn the plant the smoke will make you sick.
So we bought the lot and hired the CAT to come in and get rid of them. We want to make a garden and plant some citrus.
This machine was amazing! It chopped it up pretty fast. Munch, munch, munch.
He carefully cut around the couple native palms that had managed to survive on the lot.
Remember how thick the peppers looked here in an earlier photo?
Starting to make noticeable progress.
There was one huge plant in the back that did take him awhile to take out. I had originally wanted to leave it for privacy but the power company had come in the week before and killed it anyway because it was under their lines. They notch the lower branches and put in some poison.
Now we can see our neighbors for the first time. You know us, of course a fence is coming and maybe some bamboo in front of it.
This is how much metal trash we found! We found lots more other trash too, truck seats anyone?
The CAT is finished, our work begins.....
Tune in for the next installment and see what we did with this fence....
