I can't get my head around it. Or maybe my heart, because my head is on board, but I just don't feel it: Reclaiming a gravel driveway is more tiring than you'd think.
Got this place at the end of 2020. Thought I was going to have to truck in loads and loads of gravel but once I started driving into the property I realized the gravel was already there, it just had a layer of sod and weeds grown over it. Over the years I've cleared it off (and then cleared it off again as new weeds grew in) but this year I've been widening out the main driveway, which was basically just two tire tracks worth of gravel (although I can see from the slope of the terrain and the type of vegetation where the actual boundaries are).

I mean, it's basically weeding--you sit on your but and pull up the plant matter and expose the gravel. That's not that tiring, is it?

Except it's more than that. You want to get the roots. And the dirt that is clinging to the roots, so you're re-exposing the gravel beneath. So I hook my fingers under the edge of the line I finished the previous day and pull and tug until the sod starts to come up. I try to pull up as much at once as I can. And it is clearly more tiring than I think it is because every day I feel whipped.
