This weekend the focus went back to the backyard. My brother has been working on tilling the mulch into the soil over the week. On this day he was trying to make the final adjustments to the sprinklers. Because the sprinkler system is a few years old and the new efficient sprinklers use less water and have more pressure built up in the system a few things have broken and a few trips to Home Depot for replacement parts had to be made.


The good news it everything seems to be working now. The sprinkler spray patters and distance have all been adjusted.


I selected some resin borders to put in and create the border in the yard. They did not take long to install but each section had four small stakes to hammer in. Once it was in I spread the bark out to fill the area in. I think it turned out pretty good. I had to start taking pictures since it was getting pretty dark.This is the completed area around the pomegranate tree. 


And this is the area around the grapes to where the garden is, waiting for the bark to be spread.


Next up, planting clover seed and getting some plants in the garden.
