Finished sheet mulching part of our yard. We now have a 1000 square feet less lawn to mow. In place of it we now have a native habitat garden, three small raised beds filled with veggies, bird baths, large stone, nurse logs, stumps and three large loads of bark chips.

Managed to mix 30 gallons of my soil. Transplanted 7 girls to full throttle food while keeping small enough to bring in under some additional light. Hardened already. All I managed. Son slept till late afternoon. Raining. No veggies in yet. First night I can leave stuff out with out frost concerns.

I found these 3 next to my hose. Cannot be! In MI and not by my hand. We'll see. View attachment 4901817View attachment 4901818View attachment 4901819
think i may take aleaf out of your book and bring mine in to some adiitional light, i got autos for the first time and think just leaving them outside was ok for an experiment, but the results are not good enough for my liking so just outside was ok

A sound no homeowner wants to here is the sound of water spraying inside a wall. That's what I heard last night. Ran out and shut off the water to the house. Cut the wall open and found that that damn crimped polybutylene pipe they stopped using years ago had sprung a leak.

I've already had to crawl under the house and replace some of it with PEX but I should have just done it all. It's not if but when that crappy pipe fails. I just haven't been willing to tear open the walls to replace it but It's now a priority summer project to replace all that crappy pipe. I have a roll of PEX so I replaced the run under the house to the kitchen while I was down there. This was the hot water from the water heater. I'm sure glad they had everything I needed at Home Depot. Sharkbite fittings make things easy.

I'm also glad I worked construction years ago. At least I'm able to do things myself. It would have been $500 if I had to call a plumber.
