John Moore and Kelley discuss site leveling
John did the initial digging for the rain garden - lots easier than doing it by hand! Then we finished the digging with picks and shovels. Fortunately, the rain garden is located in a sandy part of the site. This will help speed the infilatration of water into the soil.
When the water garden was deep enough to accommodate our roof runoff we filled the hole with gravel, then covered the gravel with a layer of soil. We'll complete the filling after the path is laid. Then we'll be ready to plant our rain garden with plants that like a little winter flooding.

Rain garden re-filled with soil. We'll add more fill, place some rocks and smooth the sides once the walkway is completed |
