Is your yard flat or does it have some slope to it? Does it have places the slope causes erosion? Terraces can break your backyard into several mini gardens.

This allows heavy rains to soak in rather than run off and cause soil erosion.
Hello all, I hope everyone is in good health and happy spirits! Fall is here and it is time to enjoy some outside time before the weather turns to bitter cold and ice. My family is doing really good, and we are rolling with the flow. My craft fair is coming up and I have been working hard to get everything organized and make sure I have plenty of items. I hope it is a good day for it and we have lots of people. I am really excited about how well my little side gig is going. So, everyone have a great week and As Always Remember the Little Things, they are what makes the world so happy.
