Adventures in Landscaping I (2012-04-07)
1) "Scorched earth" tactic with the weed-whacker
2) Hand tilled (that’s the tiller in yellow) because I can’t buy a roto-tiller
3) Dig mini-trench for border bricks and set them in upside-down because the rounded tops are not exactly our style
4) Hand-spreader with Alyssum seed
5) Hand-spreader with weed-n-feed
6) Water

Yes, I know the "feed" in weed-n-feed is for lawns, but I’m mostly concerned with having the weed-killing properties soak in. The previous owner wasn’t very good at weeding the area.

…day 1! I won the battle today, but the war isn’t over yet. Bought the dandelion weeder, broadcast spreader and weed ‘n’ feed. Already bent the weeder, might have to go back for the Weed Hound.
