It was ‘fun’ walking across all that plastic. We are fortunate that we have been able to move out of the room completely, but we do have to go through it to get to the kitchen. I quickly learned it was best to wear shoes while going across the plastic - socks and stockings are just too slippery!
Gathering has started shrinking in last 5 years because birds of my family have started spreading their wings to reach out for the sky :)
The shrink–swell index of clay refers to the extent certain clay minerals will expand when wet and retract when dry. Soil with a high shrink–swell capacity is problematic and is known as shrink–swell soil, or expansive soil. The amount of certain clay minerals that are present, such as montmorillonite and smectite, directly affects the shrink-swell capacity of soil. This ability to drastically change volume can cause damage to existing structures, such as cracks in foundations or walls.
