Today was a beautiful sunny early spring day, perfect for a bike ride, hike, bird watching trip, or laying sod. We chose laying sod. We've been trying to deal with this an area of dead grass and moss. Phase one of the plan was to pave over a section of it with a new patio--that part is done. We decided to sod instead of seed to try and get something more stable in place more quickly than seed. On hindsight it would have been better to get a rototiller but we thought that since the area was pretty small we would be able to do it by hand. It took longer than we thought, but we were able to break up the dirt and lay the sod before dinner. I'm happy with the way it looks--now we just need to keep it watered for a couple weeks so it grows new roots. We'll also have to keep Wags from push it around. Hopefully we'll do something less physically intensive tomorrow.
