We’ve had a lot of rain today and it’s washing away the soil I just spread here! Well, I guess it’s good to discover this kind of bug early in the project’s life – before this area is full of newly planted plants. The rain barrel definitely needs upgrading to something bigger (and less ugly) and we need a drip irrigation hose to lead the water to the plants rather than to the street. And the soil needs to be covered with mulch of some sort to help keep it in place.
