Ready to Plant

I amended the soil with 15 cubic feet (~1/2 cubic yard) of Tacgro compost at about 1:1. That’s the darker soil in the bottom of the pond. The original mulch was spread out 4-6 inches deep, sufficient to cover the grass and weeds; it’s ready for planting.

That’s not my department, unless a hole has to be dug in the stony, original soil.

The total time for this project was about 20 hours. The only cost was 14 bags of compost, less than $100.

      A shallow pond, but it won’t hold water unless we get a couple of feet really fast because the infiltration rate is too high in our back yard. The pond is only a low point where runoff from the roof can collect.
