Popping in To Say Hi and Landscape Project Update

   Hi everyone, Wow it's Thursday already. 

       So grateful for cooler weather so far this week-although the hot is returning. I have been sticking with my garden project everyday. Splitting up working in the mornings early and then going back out around 4 pm. Once it gets back up in the 90's again it will mostly likely be too hot for me after 4.

    Today I can really see progress, my goal was to finish  going through all the soil-seperating out the larger rocks, and debris by this week's end. We'll see how that goes.

   I just took a couple photos.

      Towards the left front-near where the water is draining from the rocked wall-is the finished soil. I had more than this but spread some of it out already. In the back to the right is what I have left-thinking at least 3 days more of work.

and this is the pile of small rocks that I seperated out of the soil already-that's allot of rocks haha. In the back is the piles of concrete chunks

             I did leave some of the gravel size stone in for drainage. I have only found about 4 worms in this soil, so this definitely needs some compost type nutrients added. Thinking of getting a big bag of peat moss if still available, and some miracle grow garden soil to mix in.  In the spring I will also buy some garden worms to put in here too.

  Speaking of Miracle Grow-I did an online search for small compost tumblers. I found one from Miracle Grow that I really like. So that is on the wish list for next spring. Here is a video I found-looks perfect and will keep the critters out of it if I try to make a homemade one. We have a woodchuck and racoons that get into mischief here smiles

  Do any of you have one of these? the reviews are all over the place, some love it some say it doesn't compost well which may be the fault of the buyer not knowing what to put in the compost.

This morning we had another pretty sunrise. The first photo is the blue heron fishing off of our dock.

    My digital camera is very old, thinking at least 15 years old now at least, so it is not taking sharp photos any more. This sun was a bright red and that does not show up well here.  We don't use smart phones so I don't have a camera that way-may need to look into a new one, hoping still available.

  Happy Thursday
