Rico; When you get as old as me, one has to get things done, to have some time to reap the benefits. The lot next door is huge, comparatively and offers room for making mulch and thermophilic compost, growing more herbs and storage of my motorhome.
I'm hoping to buy a commercial grade chipper shredder which nobody around here has [despite many tree 'managers'] and attempt to set up my helper in business creating mulch. This is the number one thing which would improve horticulture locally. Soil erosion and dryness are the biggest problems. My helper is a brave man in his later 30s who has stuck to the moral high ground, raising his 2 young sons alone. He deserves to have an improved life.
There is a typical Mexican dwelling on the lot, which could serve a number of uses. I have had a fantasy of creating a school of soil science and microscopy but do not know if this will come to fruition without an infusion of capital.
