As the process is the same as it was for the composter, I am going to tell you my first impressions about landscaping instead of about the pictures.
My main impression is that you spend all this time digging the hole, clean it out the best you can. And there is a feeling of accomplishment when that hole is done. But then you refill the hole and its like you are back to where you started. So at the end of the day there is no hole, and it doesn't feel like anything got done, but you are really tired.
Then you walk out the next morning to water and its like 'wow' that looks a lot better.
Then there are the weeds, and I have been wondering, 'are they really that big of a deal?' so I have been checking out other peoples weeds, and its like 'well I never noticed those before...'
but maybe other people are checking out my weeds....
And then there is all this extra dirt soil that I have been digging up. We put a lot about the walk but there is more, and I am not done digging holes and refilling them. I checked out Craig's list an there are a lot of people that want you to come and haul away their dirt, not a lot of people that want to come and pick it up.
On the composter we weren't all that picking about the pavers being level. On this project I was a bit more picky and found myself pulling them out and adding more sand, packing the sand down...
Next year before I plant the garden I plan on spraying the creeping Charley, I like to call it the creepy Charley. Which made me realize last night that if I do spray I can't compost the weeds then.
My hose spigot is still not fixed, but it has been cooler and rained pretty good on Sunday.
I think that is enough rambling for one day. Thanks for stopping by.
