I took this video footage back when it was still quite cold out. I needed to mark where my underground electric line resides with stakes before the grass started growing in. I figure once there is grass, it may be harder to see where the trench was dug.
The other thing I had to get done before spring was getting rid of a potential future home for a yellow jacket nest - my old, moldy bales of hay.
When you are working with the land/nature, you are on nature's schedule, not your own ☺️
Finally, I go over some natural ways to prevent yellow jackets from forming nests in areas that you may frequent.
