    Phil you can do anything. The coypus must go if they attack beloved Lightening. Those huge front teeth can do a lot of damage. Please be careful because you are very loved❤

    I like that you addressed the hedge before birds began to nest. I also like that you are wanting the river rats off your property. Their underground tunnels can result in ground collapsing, which is actually their objective.

    I know you didn't ask but to help with the green stuff you need some more oxygenating plants. Parrot Feather, water lettuce, possibly water hyacinth. Things that have roots that dangle in the water will help eat up the other nutrients.

      The animals swimming in the water will eat any plants before they have time to help. They need to be removed before they cause serious damage to the base of the Chateau.

    Glad you could fix the mower, you are going to need it soon. I think you may need to get the hunters in, Phil. Once the coypu start having babies they will get a bit aggressive if Lightning goes near them. They are not native species, so could be doing other harm to other creatures that are native. 🙂

    Have you thought about totally draining the moat and letting it refill with rain events? That would possibly get rid of the Nutria rats as they are called in Texas. The algae could be eradicated as well. While dry, the bank could be addressed as well as the fountains, chateau shutters, and the circulation system could be properly installed for keeping the water clear.

    On the chanel about Castle Ten Berghe, they have a special mower that they use to clear the edges of the moat. It sits at a 45-degree angle (adjustable, I think) and is on a kind of arm that you extend. I wonder if you used one of those to remove the vegetation, if those nasty critters would head for the next moat over? 🧡
