It's well underway now. Concrete blocks were laid in, and a bunch of dump trucks full of dirt has been laid down. It looks a lot different. When I first moved in, all of that area was full of brush and weeds. It had a slope down to the gully, but the blocks have mad it possible to level out this area up to this point with a steep drop into the gully.
The hackberry tree may not be a hackberry. However, the alternative is a china berry tree. I find that hard to believe, though.
The ants are still interested in the paste, which has dried up considerably.

The reason for the hackberry not making it is that the owner of this property ( not me ) doesn't like them. It is just an experiment after all for yours truly. In the meantime, some improvements to the property are underway. This will make more of the land on the property accessible. ( And a hackberry tree of two in the way ) Also, I'm studying the Linux OS.
As for the experiment with the hackberry, nothing new to report. The ants like the solid paste better than the liquid mix.
Update: There's no toxic look-a-likes for the hackberry, but the berries should be red to purple. These aren't. Not yet, at least.
