Driveway edging

Chooks have discovered a morning sun period along the edge of the driveway and grabbed the opportunity to do some dusting with the sun on their backs. Most of the excavations end up on the driveway so we need some edging too keep things tidy.

Found some edging that was left over from a job at my older daughters place.

 Backfilling and tidy up

Finally we can backfill soil on one side and pebbles on the other.

Before that I need to do something about the bulging metal edging. Decided to cut and overlap so it sits flush with the timber edging - along here.

Finally with good weather yesterday and was able to continue yard activities, in particular painting the fence palings. This morning we are fitting them along the trench in front of the existing metal edging.

Last week the weather forced me to down tools on this project.

Having said that I could have continued under cover in the carport but then Bailey came along!

This is where we left off and the next stage was to prep and paint the fence palings.

 Removing excess soil

It's surprising how much soil washes in from the top garden level through the rock wall to overfill the narrow garden bed. So much that the metal garden edging is bulging out in places and looks unsightly.

I actually started this job a couple of day go by digging or rather scooping out soil along the back of the edging.
