A couple of years ago, a contractor installed a new drain line along the edge of the hill down front. Unfortunately, after the drain line and a bunch of gravel went in, there was only room for the soil that came out of the trench last.
So now, Trillium Hill has its own version of the Cheltenham Badlands - 450 million year old clay. Even weeds can't survive in that environment.
As the trees along the driveway grow and I need to expand the footprint of the gardens, I use the sod that I remove to repair the wasteland. Last year I fixed about 40 feet of the project. Still have about 100 feet to go, but we'll get there eventually.
The clay is so hard that I had to use an adze to dig out enough to make room for the grass. Worked up a sweat and the contacts for my heart monitor wouldn't stay on so I had to call it a day after a couple of hours.
Pretty disappointing!😂😌

The Blue Jays have now won three games in a row. Just two days to the trade deadline and they could be buyers (if they have a lot of faith in the team) or sellers (to gain something from the players whose contracts end this season, if they don't have that faith).
Should be interesting.
Stay well.
