Japanese Garden 3


Things are starting to look better now. Three trailer loads of white limestone chip are added. this is laid over weed mat to prevent weeds growing through. The white chip is very bright in the direct sun and I would have preferred it to be a lot finer. It will be difficult to rake into patterns but on the other hand the ginger cat will not be able to use it as a toilet.

After a quick tour of the local water race I found some rocks for the garden. I guess in the long run it would be good to get some more substantial rocks but I will need to get some type of mechanical assistance to position these.

One element of the garden that I haven't seen in other gardens is the seat. This was made out of two old sleepers bolted together and provides a place to sit and contemplate.
