Four new raised beds barely made a dent in the soil pile, once filled. I plan to replace the heavy clay in the old beds too, but they will be last due to already being planted, although the crop hasn’t done well. [I blame the poor soil.]
Then I can use a layer on these new terraces. Part of the reason I built them was to deal with a pile of poor quality soil (mostly clay subsoil), and to have a place to put the sod I dug out from the area the new raised beds went in. And I wanted an herb bed.
Then there’s my berm project in the back yard (no pic), which will benefit from a top layer of good soil. And the beds by my front walk can use some too. But I have a brief respite from shoveling dirt – we’re getting heavy rain and everything is now muck. I love playing in the dirt, but mud? Not so much.
Meanwhile, my driveway is full of boulders, waiting to be used on the embankment. There may even be a few left for my landscaping efforts. Are we having fun yet?
