Waterfalls in the Back garden


Jeff was able to get this little video of Tuesday's rain onto the blog. It isn't that interesting but here it is! I've scooped out 6 wheelbarrows of dirt so far. Should we go up a block? The vetiver is doing well up top, but I need to add some more grasses and things to slow down the water! What would a hurricane be like? I don't want to know.

Mother nature at her best! It is impressive. I have to stay tune see what you come up with about not losing so much dirt, I have the same problem...hillside!

Rosa - The vetiver grass is doing a nice job up top and I continue to keep planting ornamental grasses on the sloped part. I think we will always have some moving dirt but I have reduced it a lot already!

Cassie - The refinery explosion has made no difference in our area (except a few paranoid people who lined up at gas stations). When we did our caving olympics on saturday a few members had trouble getting to it because roads were blocked etc.
