Would be easier than carting it off.<br /><br />even the nails (they said) can be left in, especially if down deep. They eventually rust away and add iron to the soil. Lots of folks buy iron additive for soils.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-80998803975604193032016-03-13T15:04:53.606+00:002016-03-13T15:04:53.606+00:00I was going to write the very same!

We did this twice. This middle-aged woman had some muscles when she was done! Then, we eventually dragged them 6 hours north to where we live now just to sell them. Eeeesch!! (This was not my decision and i wish we had them back!) So, good for you! I know you'll put them to good use!

Off topic, I am working through your long walks (and very much enjoying them) but the first link to the third walk says "this blog post does not exist". I have now read the third walk but if you can fix it I will go back and read the first link. If not don't worry. I have great admiration for your walking.Carol Caldwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02800245681845689902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-7677678797338168152016-03-13T07:37:44.626+00:002016-03-13T07:37:44.626+00:00What a wonderful find IIona you are going to be bu...What a wonderful find IIona you are going to be busy.
