The waiting is over and the black death has been removed to see the swath of brown. I am ready to rototill my new herb garden bed.
The plastic did its work and now time to rototill. A little digging confirmed that this was not a job to do by hand.
I had the utilities come out and mark where the lines were. Nothing scarier than hitting the gas line with a rototiller — fortunately they are much deeper than I am planning on going.
Lily really likes sitting on the dead grass — maybe it is extra warm or something.
Lines marked, I headed to Home Depot and rented a rototiller. I have never done this before and it took some time to figure out how to not rip my arms off. But once I got the knack of it, it went pretty fast. Neighbor Charles redeemed himself for all of his snarky comments while I was moving dirt by helping me get the rototiller in and out of the back of the truck.
All done. I had to throw down some blocks to get across the muddy pit. Lily was particularly unhappy about tramping through the mud. I liked the stones so much, I decided to set them deeper and keep them.
