Raised bed, official woodpile

0

It was a hot Saturday with lots of sun, so I put the last raised bed together, from the cedar I bought back in April. Having made two already, the third took me all of 20 minutes.

Fits snugly between the second bed and the walking garden. Will receive lots of light with the willow trees out of the way.

However, I created a problem for myself a few weeks ago: I put the brush pile alongside the shed to dry the leaves (and to stop mice from making homes in the leaves), and now that I needed compost, the new priority for the day became “Take care of the brush pile.”

These trimmings were so much easier to deal with when freshly cut. Now they are brittle and bulky.

I put in some energy, rolled in a few logs, and put the bigger willow pieces to work to create a natural raised platform which will become The Wood Pile.

It’s got room enough underneath that the cat should be able to snoop around and flush out any rodents. Or just sit under when he gets hot.

I repaired the hose and gave the garden a good watering.

For the remainder of the day, my wife and I went for a hike. In the evening, I put some of the brush to use.
