February 9, 2013 The ART gets installed...OOOOOO...the shivers.

Decided on a location for the 'art piece.' The problem is getting it balanced. I used some of the old rebar to hold it up. Eh, it gets the job done; I know that I'll have to improve it.
 All of those lines were a pain to get into place. Turns out, only one line had a vine wrapping around it. The rest were just resting in place with pressure from the tape keeping them from moving. Once I removed the tape, it was as if they had lives of their own.

I was driving to get some supplies and drove past a dead cat in the neighborhood. It made me sad to see it dead. But nothing could be done about that. I am NOT going to explore THOSE experiments again...joking. Anyway, I simply didn't want its life to be so wasted and decided to bury him in the garden. Let his body give back to the earth. I, also, decided to do it under the art piece. It's the only area that I firmly believe that I will not have to re-dig in the near future.

 Now to layer the surface with newspaper to hold down on weeds and grasses.



Standing next to it for scale.

Outstanding, the water is pooling just as I had hoped. That means that the water is infiltrating into the soil rather than running off.

The wind knocked over a bunch of my garlic chive seeds. I can still save them, so it's not a waste. But what a pain.
