Filling in the Moat


On Sunday we had another nice day so we took the opportunity to start to fill in the "moat" that we dug last week with the stone wall. We started by lining the hole with some landscape fabric to hopefully keep silt from getting underneath and around the blocks. On top of the fabric went the peastone gravel that was tamped down and made level. On top of this went the base course which was set into place with a rubber mallet. We still have to pick up a couple more courses of stone to finish things off before we can work the soil and plant the hostas that have been waiting for a long time to get into the ground.
