The Archeologist Gardens

Photobucket




The garden was getting pretty weedy again and it was time start some new plants. Then, a couple days ago, DH had a brain storm, that the screens they use to sift through dirt on archeological digs would work well for removing weeds from the garden. It really was a brilliant idea!
He borrowed a screen from the archeology lab and it worked beautifully. It also meant that Blaze was suddenly interested in weeding.

So, here is our first instructional video ( I had to open a You Tube account just for this, because even though it's only two minutes long, Photobucket said the file was too large to upload). DH decided to call this archeo-gardening:






Blaze and I also came up with a new way for him to help carry mulch to the garden, although it would have been better if the box had wheels.

That was a great little video. Very inventive. I think it would work nearly everywhere in the USA but here... where our soil is mud 3/4 of the year. ;) I forwarded it to my Ma in CA... she will love that idea for her garden.

Love the little one getting involved too. :)
