The next project was the bed along the front left of the house: the site for a thicket of Salal (Gaultheria Shallon).
First, I did the left edge of the bed and measured out the slope of the wall. The bed needed to slope down to the corner of the house to guide excess water around the house and out of the garden
The front edge went in along the guide line
After the walls were done I added soil, amended with peat moss, added the plants, and mulched with leafgro compost.
In full shade, Salal will grow as a tall thicket (6-9'). I'll keep it trimmed to frame the window.
