Well 20 pieces of Sod laid, 4-40# bags of top soil spread and all areas fenced in! Yes tomorrow will be hell! But in reality has its humor. Some ask Fence???? Why fence ? My very first Golden Retriever “Toby” taught me why to fence fresh sod. I had a very large orange tree in my backyard that over grew and I got to the point where I told my wife I was cutting it down. Mainly because grass would never grow under it. My Toby and my wife’s dog ( Boston Terrier) would walk in with dirt on their paws where shampoos on the carpet became a norm here. I finally took it down and went to laying 2 pallets of sod delivered in my driveway. ( before my surgery and young) The more I laid the sod seemed like I wasn’t making headway but yet I continued. After 30 minutes I KNEW I wasn’t making headway. For every piece of SOD I laid, Toby was bringing in 2 pieces of sod and laying it on my living room carpet. So yes he taught me 2 things….put fencing around new sod AND never have carpet. I can laugh at it now but wasn’t laughing then! Hopefully some of you get a smile out of that all to true story….David
P.S. Have a great weekend all!
