Earthworks is a type of art form that I felt engaged in today. "This isn't art. It's a craft," My wife corrected. Well... I guess I'm not sure what the difference is. I hauled 40 40 pound bags of top soil from the garden shop over to the west side of our house. First we spread 6 mil plastic (which we quadruple folded) and create a slope of dirt on top flowing away from the house. Then I scattered grass seed and fertilizer. So today's project had two goals: help the basement stay dry and lay the ground work for the west side face lift we have planned for the spring. We dream of hostas and lemon grass. Mums and grass.
