OK all you master gardeners, I need your expertise. First, let me say that I live in Texas and I am trying to build a bed in an area that has hard rocky soil. A friend of mine dug out ...»
the area to about 5 inches deep. I do not want to use the black landscaping paper. However, someone told me to use cardboard. They said to lay it on the existing rocky soil. Then to fill in with garden soil followed by a layer of several sheets of newspaper and then mulch on top. Does this sound good to you or do you have any other suggestions?

I really want an outdoor sofa, but they are sooo expensive.

I would like to build my own, any ideas on how to get started. I bought some high back chair cushions that I really like. I want it to be tall enough to lean back into. We watch tv on our deck.

    Polly, I will be sure to post some photos of mine. I bought some gorgeous cushions at Kmart ...»
    for 160.00 dollars and the material for the sofa cost me about 80.00. My son, is a carpenter, and he is gonna start working on it for me next week.

waterfall/feature using chain link

I saw somewhere a water feature using a chain link gate. The water ran down the links slowly into a small pond. It was amazing! My son wants to make one for his first home. Has anyone seen or made one before?
