Some are a bit chubby...Gone through almost 100# of food this year. Have a few pounds left to use up until it's too cold to feed.

Hole being dug!!
Dirt is going along the yellow strip to route water runoff in another direction, instead of flooding & washing away the horse track & barnyard.
Dirt added to low side, too!

It's done!
Now to level the dirt around the edges & add block.
The berm will help with erosion, stopping it from going further right into the horse and barn area.

Grass seed was spread, but I need to put down hay or straw on top.

Measured out the halfway points on liner and hole, got those spots pinned down. Started raining, need to finish adjusting it.
