I decided to redo one of my large circle flower beds, probably 12 to 14 foot across. This is the one my swing sits in. I had put decorative stone in it years ago and decided I didn't like working around the stones. So I removed most of the stones and reused them in other areas. Before I ever removed the stones I noticed this circle had a serious low spot so I began to hall dirt. When we put our garage up, my husband had them put the top soil in a pile originally thinking we would it in low spots in the yard, okay so this is a low spot. I have been shoveling it into my wheelbarrow and putting it in this circle. But at the end of the day I think...still needs more! This project isn't turning out so easy and not so quick, I guess that is usually what happens, isn't it!
I keep think about when ever you did a hole, say to plant a tree, it always takes more dirt than you took out.

LOL! I've often wondered that myself. You would think you'd need less dirt... I have always found that what I think will be a simple, quick project turns out to be a lot harder and longer than I anticipated- especially in the garden! |

That happens to us all. You dig a hole to put a post in, then you put the dirt back around the pole and still have to find more dirt. If the pole took up some of the space, you would think the left over dirt would more than fill it back up. Dirt just doesn't like us messing with it so it just shrinks itself up to make our gardening just a little longer to do. Have fun 'filling your low spot' LB |
