  • Isn't this edge pretty? Trust me, this is very easy to do. All you need are three tools you likely already have on hand. 6
  • This was the before. Does this look more like what you have in your own yard? Let's fix this right up!
  • This is a simple half moon edger. Make a nice fresh cut along the grass part of your edges in a nice smooth arc.
  • Once the cut is made, trench out the soil with a hand held garden shovel and mound it away from the edge. Trim the grass along the edge horizontally and vertically to get that nice crisp haircut look.
  • The trench allows for water run off and soil falling, and the shadow just creates a really dazzling finish. 3
  • I created a fun little chart that displays the process a little better. Come check out all 4 steps as well as many other after shots at:

scraps are my specialty, so if you are a regular diy'er and have as many scrap pieces laying around as I do, you may find a quickie project in the group. The pictures show a few of my favorites. Hop over to My Repurposed Life to see the rest.

garden! There are seven waterfalls going into the large pond below. The windows light up at night - we have them on a timer. We have approx. 32 Koi in the large pond. The water wheel is made out of an old combine wheel - we welded buckets on it!

  • Here is my tea pot fountain in full bloom. 8
  • We drilled a a hole in the tea pot and then threaded it. We attached flanges to a solid concrete block to support both the tea pot and the gold pan. The block is heavy enough to support the weight of the unit underwater. 5
  • We then built a support for the gold pan and dropped the unit into the whiskey barrel. We added a fountain pump and inserted tubing up through the tee on the bottom of the pipe that supports the tea pot and into the tea pot. 1
  • Add water and your done! The unit is free standing so it can be leveled and no holes are drilled in the whiskey barrel. I put it all away every winter and take it out and set it up in the spring. 1
  • Last year we poured a concrete base that the whiskey barrel sits on so it doesn't sink into the dirt. 1

How do I get all three trees I posted in the same viewing area?

I've posted three pictures of our Christmas tree decorated for Valentines Day, St Patricks Day and now Easter, but they are in separate posts. How do I get them all in the same post?
