I usually use trees and that fence post or flower bed over there, try to pay attention to where I've been, but I'm sure miss A LOT of area. Get sidetracked- ooh that area by the side porch looks good, etc.... How many of you grid and how do you do it?
Yesterday I went out and bought a bunch of little orange s to help keep me focused and cover as much ground as possible. I started with 4 s, making a big square but ended up liking to use 2 s. I stuck one in the ground and headed toward a big tree about 50 ft away, planted a second , turned around and headed back to the first , then back to the 2nd and moved it over about 2 feet. Back and forth like hunting a plowed field for arrowheads. It really helped me stay on track. Pretty simple but curious how GRIDDING is done? I imagine using string and such. Is there already a good thread started here, ideas on how to grid?
P.S. It's fun having the s, make me feel important like I'm a surveyor lol From a distance people prob think I work for utility company, looking for pipes and wires.
Might save questions like is that a 'geiger metre'? Are you weed eating? Do you have permission to dig up our city park? Do you need some spare change for a meal? stretcher:
