Transforming the Garden, aka Get rid of the lawn!

As you probably know, I converted most of my tiny patch of lawn  in the back to a Square foot garden.  Sadly, it looks rather tatty, and needs to be spruced up.  One goal is to eliminate any lawn whatsoever back there.  It's a joke to try and mow, and now that the boxes are there, it would be a pain in the neck.

Here we are before....




A layer of weed cloth, and the edging bricks dug out of the ground. They've sunken in quite a bit in seven. years.





Finished with a layer of mulch. it'll compact once it rains. No more mowing!



















It took from 8:00am until 2:30 this afternoon, but so worth it.  What do you think?

Off to the Butcher Shop!


Until next time, Keep Digging & Eat Well!
