The Rain Garden or Rewilding a 60'x60' spot
First we removed the asphalt. Admitted that the compacted sub base was going to prohibit a veg garden. Then I signed up for a MasterRain Gardener class. We removed the monster Box Elder tree that was rubbing on the garage and it's crappy litle mulberry friends.
Last fall we herded most of the leaves towards that direction and left them on in a thick mat, finally got the first five yards of topsoil delivered yesterday. I moved the roses from the back porch area so that area is all iris now. After the truck left? Of course it rained. Today we got the soil mostly flat and dug a trench from the new rain gutter to the lowlying area that inspired the direction we are going. Pete also moved the gravel the snow plow guy moved for us back onto the actual driveway.
