Chillin' In The Garden
I am trying to get ideas about what to do with the ugly mudpit I call my backyard this year. The past two years I've spent working on the vegetable garden half, but this year, I want to deal with the other side. In case this doesn't make sense to you, my yard is divided with a four foot fence down the middle to segregate dogs from chickens and vegetables. The side with the dogs will also be the place where barbecues are held and where I just hang out in summer evenings. But, I don't come from a gardening background and I have no idea how to even begin planning. Ideally, here are the things I'd like to incorporate:
1. Under the hazelnut tree, I want to dig a spot for a dog poo composter
2. I want a path leading from the back door to the gate to enter the garden
3. I'd like to get grass growing again
4. A fire pit would be nice
5. Some kind of flower beds or shrubberies along the fences
6. I want to build a cob or brick oven somewhere
So, take some pictures of your yards and post them! Especially anyone who has a small, relatively square yard. And feel free to post ideas for things like what is the ideal path material.
