We have a large patio/garedn on the side of our house that was covered in black plastic and rocks. The rocks spent most of the time being hauled around by creative kids and the black plastic had a tendency to flap in the wind. We decided to haul out all the rocks with help from the Finches and then redo the patio into a more plant friendly environment (mulch).
Why not wear hot pink protective eye wear you've stolen from your sister?
Lucky Carl got to drive a skid steer at the local landscape supplier. I'm pretty sure that we will never be able to provide him with a more exciting experience.
That is a lot of compost to move around.
And here's the pile of mulch that came on the very same day. Nothing like hard labor.
Here's the finished rock patio/path with mulch. Now I can plant flowers without moving around rocks and cutting up nasty black plastic. Our patio is going to be significantly cooler now. Not really necessary during winter, but we'll look forward to it this spring.
