The fall is perfect timing to do the work though, nice and cool.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-76922575980609839512009-11-05T16:55:19.533-05:002009-11-05T16:55:19.533-05:00My body is aching just reading your post.

Combined they are really hard to get out. You can't lever rocks up if roots are in the way and it is hard to cut the roots if there are rocks in the way.<br /><br />our friend Ben, My herbs were put where my old water garden was. My son and I created the water garden inside the veggie garden fence when he was little. He really wanted a waterfall. When my little solar panel that ran the pump died I decided to rip it up. Ben no longer cared about it and it was such a pain to keep care of. It is at the end of two of the beds in sort of a triangular area.<br /><br />Stefaneener, I'm sure it will. I'll plant squash here next year. I'm sad I had to buy so many of my squash. Next year hopefully I'll do better - at least if the weather cooperates.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-60998883620076878232009-11-05T10:52:26.689-05:002009-11-05T10:52:26.689-05:00That's a lot of work!

It's a serious amount of labor to complete but so worth it in the end. I bet you see a big increase in out put from this bed next year.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.com
