Great project! I'm in a granny flat behind my daughter's, (Oregon 8b) and don't have any lawn in the 8-9' between Rose Cottage and the neighbor's fence! I have Several raised beds with edimentals and herbs, some natives, and plants in pots (I just moved in last spring, and brought over 70 pots with me, including our family 'wagon train rose'.) The builder laid a path of river gravel, and i intend to work more on my bit this year. There's lawn in our shared back yard - the best for year round green is white clover, which my son-in law planted when he dug out earth for a koi pond!
Found one of your videos in my feed this morning. Glad I diid…I’m about 5 videos in and have subscribed! I just dug a new bed last week and removed all the sod…that is exhausting work but sure looks good!
Nice work! Good video, fun to watch... love the Fizzy interludes. :) I'm in the Denver metro area and am planning to transition my front yard into a xeriscape full of native plants. The back yard has to stay lawn for my three dogs, but I'm working on adding clover to it.
Really good question. Some of it I shook off the clay and put it into its own pile to compost down. Some of it I just flipped over so the grass was down and the clay was pointing toward the sky. That's not perfect, and I'll have to manage some of the grass that grows back but it is definitely an option to just flip it over, and "watch and weed" the grass the following season. If you have a new bed it is better to smother it with cardboard and weigh it down with mulch. i don't like removing sod in a big area. You can with some determination and a drill auger, plant plugs directly through the cardboard.
Really love this one! Feels more like a show on tv instead of TH-cam!
Thanks so much! ❤❤
Well done!
The Odo and Lwaxana reference got the immediate like button hit! Lol!

Sounds like a wonderful place! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
Great video nice quality!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
We replaced all our front lawn with edible forest during covid.
That is AMAZING! What do you grow? Must be busy this time of year. ❤️
I’m envious. Can you please elaborate?
I love your sense of humor! Snort laughed several times. I also like to sneakily increase gardening space ☺️. Your 🐶 is so cute btw!
Thank you so much! 🌱🌱🌱

Congrats on the new garden bed! What are you going to plant? 🌱🌱🌱

That's great! I'd be so interested to see which plants are native there, you probably have a lot of different eco regions! Thanks for watching! 🌱🌱🌱
I'm always testing how much grass I can remove without anyone noticing. 😂 Beautiful job and I love the masonry trowel tip. Happy planting. 🌱
Aw thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video. ❤️
Loved seeing crime pays but botany doesn't here!
He was a big inspiration for my channel! 🌱🌱🌱
What did you do with the sod? I want to remove some for a bed but not sure where I'd put it

I hate lawn. I waste hours every week mowing it and would rather grow natural food and habitat for birds instead
lol.
