Gardening with Stone

Working with stone is fun

18 years ago

It's like putting a big puzzle together. A buddy and I did this with steel bars and shovels. I had the rocks dumped off on the hill above where they are now. It still needs a little tweaking. A picture really shows where improvements can be made.

Rocks first, then trees, then smaller plants and groundcovers.

If you can move a rock an inch you can move it a mile.

Nice job botann. Here in NH we have stone everywhere. I have several piles of them waiting to become walls.

A 60' bar and a working knowledge of 1st and 2nd class leverage is all you need to get started.
