I wish you'd gotten some rain to settle those beds in a bit, tho! <BR/><BR/>I learned the hard way that a small tiller and St. Augustine grass are not a good mix. Ditto for Bermuda Grass. I think a pickaxe actually worked better for removing grass to create beds than any other tool I've used.Cindy, MCOKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094260737874973235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-49353435439609552522008-09-14T13:38:00.000-05:002008-09-14T13:38:00.000-05:00The glove flipping the finger was the best! laughe...The glove flipping the finger was the best! laughed out loud when I read then looked at the glove..so funny.

I always find funny stuff when I dig up beds-- a die, plastic toys, beads-- but never an entire pipe to nowhere!

It was pretty worthless at tearing up hard-packed clay clogged with dead Bermuda grass. So I added about 8 inches of composted topsoil from the Natural Gardener (the good stuff!) and whoo-boy, that made a world of difference. I was able to plant the small 1-gallon and 4" pots without even hitting the clay, and for the bigger plants and trees,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7793140192173953553.post-20874591994126388442008-09-13T16:08:00.000-05:002008-09-13T16:08:00.000-05:00These are my favorite types of posts in all of gar...These are my favorite types of posts in all of garden blogdom--the kind that show the real work of gardening. Why? Because when I see endless photos of perfect gardens all abloom, I get discouraged. Those blogs don't seem to have anything in common with my experience. <BR/><BR/>But when I see people struggling with jobs that take ten times longer than planned, running into unexpected setbacks andAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
