While we were stripping wallpaper my son spilled something on the kitchen floor. Without thinking about it I used the squirt bottle to spot clean the floor. What a fantastic idea! You see, I have a two year old. I almost never get to actually mop my kitchen floor; but I can squirt the pine-sol mixture on the floor and wipe it up in sections. So, now I keep the pine-sol in a squirt bottle. I'm hoping that when my son is a little older he will find squirting the floor "fun". haha

1. went rock hunting (it's what I call it) at a local construction site (free rocks)

2. Free mulch (at the local community tree branch drop off area)

3 Lattice Boards ($8-$10 at local home improvement center)

4.rolled wire

5 Weed control plastic ($5-$6) or use newspaper (free)

Directions:

1. Attach lattice board to back side of fence area with wire, or what ever works best, depending on the fence your covering.

2. Rock off area you want to cover using small to medium rocks ( I go rock hunting on Sat-Sun between 6-10am when the crews are not there, as some contractors collect the rocks to sell)

3.Loosen soil beforehand, so you can plants before or after you place the mulch.

4. Place weed control covering

5. Spread mulch over area

Note: you may add plants and shrubs before or after you spread mulch. I added after as I wasn't sure what I wanted. I also added an Arch the following year.
