Landscaping with Woodchips
Me working in the front yard of the Niebrugge Studio/Residence shoveling woodchips. This will be the second summer in our new home, and about a half acre still needs to be landscaped. Part of the yard will remain forested, we thinned the dead trees and hauled away broken branches until it is quite pleasant now to walk through the woods. Along the outer edges of the forest we plan to use woodchips to transition from the driveway to the natural ground cover of leaves and mulch under the trees. We figured it would take about 50 yards of woodchips to complete the job. That is a lot of wheelbarrow loads and a lot of raking for our aging senior bodies, but we are determined to do this ourselves.
More tomorrow.
