The A Frame Level and Marking a Contour Line

This afternoon there was a possum in the goat field.  After watching him walk around for several minutes I had had enough.  He was semi quickly dispatched.  Better accuracy and a zero scope would be better, something to do tomorrow.

Several days ago I put together an A frame level.  This essential tool is used for finding level points on the landscape and utilizes a plumb bob and simple calibrations.




I laid out a line that will become a hugulkultur bed.  Hugulkultur beds are trenches filled with wood and covered again with loose dirt.  Check back to see this project progressing or email us at sustainablehomesteadinstitute@gmail.com to register for upcoming out upcoming open house.
