So this is basically the product of this year’s yard work, a pile of felled tree plus five years of branches plus some rotting fence planks plus a lot of green waste turned into a compost pile that’s melting down to fill in a depression with me building up a slope from loosed stones to keep clear a path while building up that part of the side yard to plant blueberry bushes in, partially shaded by the pine.
You’ll see that end of the wall by the narrow tree is fully canopied over so just dry pine needles, so what I do there is gather up a trash can of leaves, fill it partway with water, stir the next day, then on day 2 glop the wet pre-mud mush onto the stones
