This was the irrigation primer that got us started. The rest was just us talking it out. http://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/vi...tension_curall Not sure what else the wife did. She did all the irrigation. |

Ace Hardware should have printouts of what to do with your lawn during what months. Ask them for one and tape it to your garage wall and your yard will look awesome if followed. http://tobytobin.com/lawn-programs/ |

There are shutouts on each of the beds, plus at the source. Quote:
Per section, 4 2x6x16 @ $11.15, 8 stones at $2,56 apiece, and roughly 28 cu. ft. soil at about $1.60/bag. Quote:

Did you use treated lumber? How deep did you drive the rebar in? |

If you only cut about 1/2 inch off and get a mulching blade, you won't have to bag. The clippings are good for the lawn if they are not to long.

I bag mine every time. Over time if you mulch back it will build up the lawn and could affect drainage. Over time your yard could end up being higher than your house. Granted that takes a long time but it can happen. I am NOT ****ing with releveling a yard. |

I got 2' rebar, so that's 12 inches into the ground. And everything I've read is treated lumber is not good for gardens, so no. Framing lumber. I know I'll probably need to replace it every couple seasons. |
