Damn, more rain today and looks like for the next few.<br />Leslie, they clear cut these forest areas to make room for building sites in the 80s and only de-stumped enough room for foundation pads. Essentially the yard and garden areas are old forest floor. I have several 3' wide stumps off my patio that are great to put pots on. Weeds and surface are easy to deal with, it's the roots and dead wood underneath the soil that's a problem, especially trying to level off an area. I do have a large "yard waste" compost going that will be great to work in with some good fill dirt as I progress. More pix as it develops.rezdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16757574220755776348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729383416776675509.post-47985591980813958702010-05-26T07:07:23.544-05:002010-05-26T07:07:23.544-05:00hey Rez,

Put them on the areas you want as garden. Inside a year, it'll be decent soil and virtually weed free. Don't be afraid to put it down heavily - like 4-6" worth. It'll be fine by next year.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473970202217670939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7729383416776675509.post-91024541972174961832010-05-26T04:06:19.784-05:002010-05-26T04:06:19.784-05:00Rez -
