What I did this weekend - and the last 3 weekends .... topdressed my 21 4' x 8' and 3 4' x 12 & 15' beds mostly-semp beds (some alpines & sedums) with composted manure. Trying to change the ph as the gravel I've been using seems to've been infested with moss spores.

The worst part of the project was the necessity to unplant so many of the semps, pick the moss away from each one, then replant. Scraping the top layer of moss off the unplanted portions of the beds was easy by comparison.

Took 30+ 40 lb. bags of compost to complete and I am knackered!!
