I need to get rid of dirt
I can't believe I am saying that.
After all, I have bought probably 50 bags of top soil, cow manure, organic peat and humus and peat moss to build up my raised gardens. (Which look lovely, all nicely planted, if I don't say so myself.)
Now I have a cart load of dirt, which at this very moment is filling up with rain water to make it a truly squishy situation.
I planted two trees today and have dirt from the holes. And I have dirt from the dirt pile. And I have dirt from the flower transplant.
I guess I could hook up the cart and drag it over to Emily's and find a place over there...after all, there is going to be some excavating going on in a week or so.
But driving at 5 miles an hour on Skare Road is not a very smart thing to do.
I filled some low spots today. It is not very good dirt, lots of clay, but I used it anyway. After all, the grass has grown in it before, so it should grow in in again. If I plant seed, that is. So I figure it was good to use in low spots.
But I still have a lot left!
Maybe I should build a hill in my soon to maybe materialize Illinois native flowers garden, if I ever get that far.
It would be a small hill, but it would offer some relief to a flat yard and maybe I could sell it as a natural glacial deposit.
A pitcher's mound? Maybe not with my rotator cuff issue.
I will use some to fill the hole that has appeared in my yard. It is about 5 inches across. There is no earth ring around it, so I don't think an animal has done it. Maybe it's a sink hole starting to form.
That would be my luck. Evade a tornado, get swallowed up by a sink hole.
Oh well.
If you have any suggestions, please pass them on. After all, I know at heart you are all thinking dirt thoughts at this point.
Peace and love.
