Re: 3R Home and Barn Project
So now Loretta got her landscape rake attached to her Jinma and started to work the compost into the loose topsoil. She did this to both areas ... the RV parking area and also over the septic leach field. Heck, she's got 75 hours on it already! We've decided to wait with the grass in front of the main entrance steps at least until we finish some more work there. We are intending to wrap the deck completely around, connecting the breezeway to the front porch. The deck will wrap around 100%. So there will be some post hole drilling and construction in that area yet.
She spent several hours on her Jinma doing both areas and got it done. We sprinkled on the seeds and some starter fertilizer and soaked the areas with sprinklers. We have been running the sprinklers everyday to keep the area moist since it is still in the high 90's during mid day. Loretta also got a couple of decorating plants inside a planter. When all this takes off, we sill start installing the underground sprinklers. Right now it is a small pain to move those sprinklers around, but it should only be for a short time before we start getting into the rainy season. There are some other things we need to get done before we focus on the sprinkler systems. I remember having to mow my Pop's lawn every weekend with a push hand reel mower and he watered everything by hand! So I know we can grow grass like this for the time being.
