New Limestone Project

     No, I am not putting in a bowling alley.  This is an area , where my husband barbecues ,that is very barren.  It is one of those out of sight, out of mind places in my yard.

     With help, I tackled it today.  A load of 3 yards of crushed limestone arrives tomorrow.  This area will connect with the area I did back in early summer.

      This is the most cost effective solution, to cover a large space, that I could find.  A yard of crushed limestone is $60.  This is a large area that is completely hidden from the regular areas of our yard.

     Now for the disadvantages.  In our yard, you can literally rake up leaves in one direction, while more are falling directly behind you. You can almost hear them laughing. 

     This is what limestone looks like sprinkled with leaves.

     If this kind of thing bothers you, I do not recommend this option.  Here is how I feel: sometimes it bothers me and sometimes it doesn’t.  Once the rocks have settled and feel ‘packed’, you can easily use a leaf blower.

     Now I just need to hope my husband doesn’t notice a LARGE dump truck pulling into the backyard. Remember his “No more projects line?”
