Sand and Grit

Added Sand and Grit to white iris bed and parterre. 1/2 ton granite dust, Oconee Sand and Gravel, $20, gas for Bob's truck $15.

Casting grit over the heavy mulch gives the flower seeds a moist yet well draining environment to germinate in. On the Iris bed, it's thick enough to almost obscure the heavy layer of leaves. 1/2" (this area is so wet it would benefit from better drainage) In the Parterres it's spread much lighter. ~ 1/8"
