these fabric bins.
You see, I’ve been working away at ripping out all this landscaping fabric and pink stone that we’ve got in every single flower bed around this house.. During the process I’ve had images in my head of big full perennial garden planted to the brim, with something always in bloom, perfectly timed with the seasons.. Then I realized that’s a whole lot of plants.Big, expensive plants.
Big, expensive plants that take years to grow..If only there was something to help me fill in the gaps.Some kind of product that would make my garden look less neglected, but would still allow me to plant new things without having to spear my way through layers of plastic and fabric.. Oh yeah.. Mulch..
So I can take an area like this:.And then go to the local recycling depot, which is where people take things like this branch knocked down during a storm….. To be turned into this stuff!.
To be picked up by me for free to use in my garden!.
After a bit of weeding of course.. Chris started to make this neat path in the garden too using our free mulch.We took these pictures the day before we started ripping everything out.. We had this dark cave of a shower, which was a good size, but pretty much just gross and uncleanable..
This part of the house had been made wheelchair-accessible at one point so the toilet was on a little pedestal, which was a pretty entertaining conversation starter if anyone ever happened to see it when we were showing them around.But still, gross.
Bad news.. …And this was the vanity area.I really don’t miss the pink paint with the maroon wallpaper border, believe it or not!.
