I am on a ridiculous mission to till up a new, rather massive, garden bed in the back. By the end of February. A giant part of this plan was disposing of a sprawling burn pile out in the 'field'. It was added to by some... less than helpful gents, and as such was now more of a sprawling continent than a burn pile. First things first - dissemble the pile. I sorted the sticks and limbs I removed by size... dunno why. Turned out to be pretty helpful, actually, as we fed them back to the fire...
The next part of my plan involved bribing my brother and his girlfriend with pizza and beer to come out and help me burn the giant thing. Jess even used the weedeater on all that retarded hedge crap out there and cleared a lot of land for me. They basically rock.
(Jess got it lit. Jason said the gasoline I poured on was mostly water. It wasn't - Jess almost died when it caught.)
Christmas trees burn beautifully, by the way.
The End! We got it all burned. Which totally surprised me - thought for sure it would be a two-day burn. But no - all gone!!
Next: clear the grass and till the ground. :)Old and new seedlings undera light now. They're not growing so well (to be expected, given the conditions I'm forcing on them.) Hoping this helps!

Um.
Water and gasoline are very different things.
Why is Jason trying to kill Jess?? :-/
(But yay for progress! On the pile. Not the girlfriend-murder.)
See, he soaked a stick in it and it wouldn't light, therefore leading him to believe it was water. Jess stepped in to light the old fashioned way, and then WHOOSH! The spot where we had poured the gas ignited like whoa. He is a terrible person, maybe.
