Well, I've procrastinated so much that now Im in a furious race to finish. We got an email 2 weeks ago that all work needs to be done by Aug 31. I was still about 20% done at that point. So basically, I've been spending every lunch hour at work and an hour or two at night trying to finish up. I should be able to finish with some time to spare, but I learned a big lesson on time management. What can I say, I usually only learn the hard way. Good news is that things are starting to click.

Nice, what happens after the 31st? Do you take a final test? or just get your certificate?

So this week we all got an email that the deadline was extended by a month. The final design needs to be submitted by the end of September. WHew..I was going to finish on time, but I did feel a bit rushed. Im pretty close to being done with all the content. Once I finish up with that I'll take the test and then start working on my design. I'll probably do my property since I already have some ideas. I think I'll just eyeball it since I dont want to walk the whole property with an A frame level mark the contour lines. Once the design is submitted, I should get my PDC certificate from Geoff Lawton!

You use the A frame to mark level points on your landscape. If you flag all the level points you can then determine your contour lines to plan water features like swales and ponds

Damn, wish I'd used that at the cottage food forest.

I was there for a crazy storm so I got to see how the water was working through it and it wasn't pretty. I basically did it all wrong!
