I thought I said I wasn't going to do this - extend the garden anymore. Okay, I lied. I think the border extends some 80 feet now - haven't measured it. I say dig - all I did was remove the top 3-4" of turf & clay & haul out tree roots. My butt is sore from falling back on it a good dozen times when tree roots finally decided to let go.

Tomorrow, I'll fork it over & dig in leaf mould & well matured lawn clippings. I've already got my rocks for stepping stones...
