Backyard Project: Rocks - Big Rocks and Little Rocks and Other Materials - Check


Tom ordered rocks - big rocks.

Tom checking to see what he has to work with.

Others materials needed to build a garden.
*Topsoil - Tom scraped off and piled up all of the top soil when clearing the site before studio construction began.

I planted the pile with green manure plants to protect the soil from rain erosion and to add biomass, nitrogen and other minerals to the soil.

The deer thought I had laid out a smorgasbord for them. Luckily they didn't like all 10 of the different seeds and some remained to grow.

*Rocks -Tom piled up the bigger rocks as he came across them while clearing the site but these weren't enough in amount or size which is why he ordered truckloads of huge rocks.


*Logs - to make a special kind of raised bed.
*Decayed Logs (shredded) - to add to the soil mix for the garden beds.
Tom has all the materials placed where they won't get in the way and where he can reach them when he needs them.
Now the Backyard Project construction can continue.
