Our shredding department


The enclosure needs the original ground level to be first dug about 8 inches deeper (to remove weedy roots and poor soil) and then the it is lined with landscape fabric.


Then two trailer loads ( 8 yards ) of triple mix is added to bring the level up two feet to make it a slightly 'raised' garden.




Now that the soil has been added, the front wall and gate opening will soon be built.


But first wheelbarrows of our fall leaves are scattered into the enclosure.


And the lawnmower does a nice shredding job. The walls do a good job of containing the newly shredded leaf mulch 


The hardest job now is waiting for spring to start planting in the new garden.
