Dry-laid paver block sidewalk is completed, polymeric sand hardened, can be used now as daily walk:
R/S house landscape completed. White line indicates v-shaped bed edge I have yet to cut. Downspout splash pans have Pocono River Stone for spillway to lawn area, after mulch is installed:
Drip irrigation system & emitter installed at every plant, with electronic timer on spigot:
Around R/S corner of house to larger existing plant in background:
Soils are still too saturated from 14.72" rain last week, to be workable for raking/seeding. Need add'l 1-2 days to dry-out.
Waiting for 35-40 CuYds of dbl-shredded hardwood mulch delivery, probably on Monday. Initial application will be 3" deep; subsequent spring applications will be 1½-2", so as not to bury plants too deep, causing them to suffocate. Too much water and to much mulch is "killing with kindness".
Finally nearing the conclusion of this project after 6 weeks.http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/s607/Family_Farm/DCP_1858_zpsbb01d4e3.jpg emitter installed at every plant, with electronic timer on spigot:
