This part of the yard was pretty bald when I moved in a year ago so it was first to be converted to garden space. I tried to leave the healthy sod on either side of the bald patch intact. Not that I want to grow grass much, but it's a rental so I'm not going to tear out healthy sod. Lucky for me, that only accounts for about 1/4 of the backyard. The rest is weeds and bare patches.I decided to edge the garden so I could use the weedwhacker to keep the grass out of the garden. Spent about $25 on edging and $4 on a sack of stakes to hold it up because I didn't feel like digging it all in - sometimes I conserve energy as well as money. Single-dug the whole bed and mulched heavily with manure and leaf mulch.
Made a spot for my grill, which I rescued from the trash. Another freebie. The pavers under it came with the place. Still more room in the bed. Think I'll fill the rest with eggplants and herbs.
