Another day of cleaning our farm. Things are going slower than we thought. We also realized that some of our previous ideas for cleaning our land were not good. We wanted to make compost, but we saw several snakes in the area and we are afraid that they will make a nest in the compost. We are also afraid that this compost will accidentally catch fire. The persistent ferns are also starting to sprout. It's very difficult to get rid of them because they have very long roots that cover the ground. One of our workers advised us to burn the land because that's what most of the farmers here do. We agreed and helped them cut down some trees. We save the wood for construction and firewood. We also brought our grass cutter with a blade like a chain saw. We will use it to cut the stumps that are scattered around the property. Boris also cut some of the dead trees.
