Most of the things in this world are not free...
or are they?
Yes, if you are not picky on what you want,
most times you can get free material and add curb appeal.
Today I am going to show you two things that you can get for free,
pretty much anywhere you live.
We just landscaped our entire yard for FREE.
I am talking about landscaping rocks and wood chips.

let's talk about landscaping rocks.
I look through the pile and pick out the most flat...which I used in making this pathway/dry creek bed.
I also used some of the more chunky rocks to make a small retaining wall right next to our driveway.
Wood chips are the discard of tree companies when they cut down trees.

Douglas Hunt on Oct 24, 2014I am all in favor of using wood chips as mulch, but if they are fresh, there is a chance that they will tie up some of the nitrogen in the soil as they decompose. This is less an issue with perennials and shrubs than it is with annuals and vegetables, but you may want to use a fertilizer that is a little higher in nitrogen to compensate.

Will have to try this, we have so many unused rocks that I would prefer to dig a whole an put then all in it.
