Phew, well the slave driver "let" me run to Lowe's for 5 more bags of mulch, and 3 bags of river rock. So 10 bags of mulch down, 8 bags of river rock and we are still not done. The river rock is at the exit of our French drain. Most of the neighbors yards drain into our yard, and then out to the gutter. We had standing water in spots when we moved in, so as I put in the sprinkler system I added a French drain "while I was in there" to get rid of the standing water. 22 years later it still works great.
When our back yard neighbor waters too much, if flows across our yard, (free water for us) and right to the drain, and out to the street and into the storm drain. That area is washing out a bit after 22 years, so we put down the landscaping cloth and put the round rocks on top to make it look nice. It hopefully will disperse the flow and stop any more erosion.
So another 8 to 10 bags of mulch to put down and we will be done with that project.
We worked from 8:00 to 11:00 on it today. Golly it was fun.
