  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

  • My grandkids love our tire swing. It is hung from a large oak tree on a hill so they get lots of height.
  • Here is the hardware you need. 3 two inch U-bolts, 3 four and a half foot long pieces of chain and a quick connect.
  • Placement of the swing is very important. Make sure there is plenty of room for those big circle swings.

  • I added a metal dowel to the crosses to use as a stake.
  • The plantings are simple, creeping jenny, ponytail grasses, bacopa, and sweet potato vines.
  • My framed lobelia is hanging in the same tree.

  • You get the twisted shapes from the root suckers that grow up around the base of a large birch tree.

  • We took some of our previously dried assorted peppers and crushed them up in a bag. Jalapeño, cayenne and other peppers.
  • After crushing up the peppers, dump them into a boiling pot of water.
  • After boiling the crushed up peppers for maybe 15-20 minutes, pour the solution into a bowl and strain out the crushed peppers. We used a paper towel because it was handy. Put it over the bowl and pour slowly.
