The shot below is of the completed edging installation. I love the clean line it provides!


This last shot is how I ended the day. I have removed more sod since this shot, but I am taking it slowly. It's not something I love to do, but it has to be completed before I can move to the tilling and addition of compost. I will blog a bit about our composting in the next entry.
Here I am beginning the laborious process of removing the sod. Since the "grass" in this part of the yard is mostly invasive bermuda, I have opted to scrape it away. I collect it, shake off the loose soil and place the tops in the wheel barrow. I am composting it separately in the back yard.
I started with the hoe, and later moved to my shovel. I had to shake it up a bit since it is so laborious and boring. Note that if you have a non invasive grass, you can just till it under and let it compost. That is how I have handled fescue in the past. It is much, much easier.

We are getting closer to planting time!
