My bro and I took a garden weasel and rake out and proceeded to clear about 600 sq feet of an old road bed. Here is what I saw after about 2.5 weeks. It only gets mottled sun throughout the day. Looks ok to me though.

Here it is again a week later than the last pics. I hope to be going out there again tomorrow. It will be about 5 weeks now.
