tilth, refers to soil health, in relation to planting/growing crops.
350 acres is big, that's great!
it is untitled and no government agency has claimed ownership
good to know...

interested in coming out to help, although april i don't think i'll be around..
but this is definitely an ongoing project..

how about squatters who may already be there?..... you'd probably want to know if anyone is already set up and get an idea of what kind of folks they are.....

That's a good point. I was thinking about cops and river patrol. There is a road right there and a yard so people would know we were there. Anyone live near that area? I could use an address to send equipment to. What kinda crops are you guys thinking about? I have a few seeds laying around.. Haha. And zephyr, I really couldn't tell you where I'll be in the summer. I let you know if I am still around.

I started making a luggage rack for my motorcycle to carry the tools I want to bring. That fucker is going on a raft to that island.

I'm speculating here but due to the fact the river surrounds the island the soil should be fine due to the amount of silt deposited. The island itself is probably made mostly of silt.

I'd like to get on this project, but I'm a little slow to fully commit. The last project I was working on ended horribly. It was mainly Ego, and mixed views that caused the entire community to collapse on itself. I would like to avoid as much drama as humanly possible. On a second note, I don't have many resources to bring other than myself and a strong work ethic. I like to see things through and always stay for the long haul. I have experience with raising Goats and Chickens, as well as sprouting(alfalfa, mung beans, clover, etc) and have always been self-sufficient. This project seems like it could be grand, as long as the foundation is set right. I will check in from time to time as often as possible.
