At the end of our land


Was still feeling very tired and weak this morning, but managed to work for an hour or two after which I walked to the furthest extent of Buddha Garden through the Jalabhoomi trees.  They are mostly terminalia arjuna - because they can stand flooding - but are very beautiful in this dry weather.

The area has been very disturbed by increasing numbers of drinkers who come in and leave a horrible amount of litter around.  So Vivek got he digger in to make a large trench and bund along the fence as we can't put up an actual fence as that would get knocked down too easily.  So far it seems to have deterred everyone who presumably don't want to struggle up the bank and then down  into the trench at the other side.  The digger also made some more holes which means we can plant even more trees there to make it even more beautiful.

Now I am hoping we can finish the job by making a similar trench and bank along the the remaining side of the land.  We can do this without annoying the land owner the other side who is disputing the boundary and it will stop cows coming in as they won't try and get across the trench.  

Or will they?  And then we would have to rescue them from the trench which make another job for us!
