Mulching the Side Yard: 30 March 2008

At 6:00 pm on Saturday, after one of my favorite shows, 'Ask This Old House' had ended, I decided to weed the side yard, adjacent to the kitchen.  By noon on Sunday I had pulled all the weeds, taken 1/2 of a cubic yard of soil to the dump, placed filter fabric, and spread 1 cubic yard of mulch.

This is the after photo.  I didn't have the foresight to take a before photo.  I hope that the filter fabric in conjunction with the mulch will make this 100 square foot strip of land maintenance free.

 

But my work is not done.  I still need to go into Cathy's yard and place something between the fence and concrete to keep the soil in her yard from spilling into our yard.
