Some more work ouside- Garden, Koi, Bonsai
« on: August 05, 2015, 02:07:16 PM »
Before & after. First pic was last week after returning home from 2 weeks upnorth fishing vacation.  The auto timer for the sprinkler had made the weeds take over the bonsai garden. Spent about 30 hours weeding, putting down about 500lbs of white crushed marble rock, moved some plants around that were getting too big for their location, and did some other various work. Koi have also about doubled in size in the past few months. Plans for next year are to move the lattice fence back another 10ft so I can add some more bonsai poles and perhaps a larger 300 gallon or larger pond in the back of the garden as well.

Before.... WEEDTOPIA!

 

AFTER...

You're hired Steve, when can you start?...by-the-way I found out how to keep everyone from visiting....get trees cut down and have huge brush piles everywhere.
