| When you take muck off the bottom of a pond that is saturated, around here it will not grow anything for several years and won't dry out either, it gets a crust on it and stays wet below.
We kept coming through and scratching the surface after the first year it got solid enough that we could drive on it, but once we opened it up tractor tire would sink like a rock down to the old ground level.
After 3 years we started to try and pick it back up with a scraper and stack it in a pile to make it easier to load with a hoe and the first thing that happened was the crust broke and the scraper dropped like a rock. Had to tie a chain on it and drag it out backwards.
If you look at the pic you can see some black shiny stuff there under the dozer where the junk is trying to ooz back out through the ruts. | |
