      This is actually a decorative ivy, it's a small leaf, slow growing kind. It's not invasive at all.

    Hey Martin! Looks like you had your work cut out for you, but you tackled it all like a pro as usual! I loved round two and am really looking forward to round 3. We got a glimpse of what's to come and I couldn't help but look! Usually I hate spoilers and avoid watching them at all costs, (like intros “in this episode...” with previews) whether it's UA-cam or Movies. But this one at the end...well I broke my rule. GAH! LOOK at all that glorious brick and a peak at the other buildings! I can't wait for the next one! Hope you are well (I was glad to see that you took a couple breaks and actually sat for a spell.)

      @@martinthegardenguy well, only you know how much you can take on, but it's sounds like they allowed you whatever time frame you needed. It's a big property, so it's a great idea to chunk the work up. If you have a harder day, taking more breaks or shortening the time you do something is good for your mind and body.
      I'm pretty broken myself (Diabetic Type2, the 3 back surgeries, and 2 arm surgeries), so it's a miracle if I get ANYTHING done. 🤣 I've learned to be more gentle with myself and just do what I can do.

    Martin, you need a longer handle on the square point shovel. You’re going to break your back. Is that moss that you are scraping off the driveway? Everything is looking better. Lots of physical labor for you. How many hours do you work on this project in a day? Take care and don’t overdo. 😊

    There seems to be some kind of tarp on the ground, under a layer of leaves, dirt and detritus. Will you be removing that tarp? Or is that some kind of weed-barrier liner that needs to stay?

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  3 місяці тому

      Yeah, it's a weed barrier membrane. With loads of gravel on top 😅 total nightmare, as the gravel has years of rotting garden waste on it now. So it's pretty useless as a weed stopper now.
      I've no idea what I'm going to do with it as yet.

      @@martinthegardenguy, thank you for responding. So many UA-camrs don't. I hope you can find an easy way to remove it. The garden would look so much better without it. That said, perhaps just putting an edging of bricks around it and calling it a rock garden may be the best you can do. Good luck!

    • @martinthegardenguy
      @martinthegardenguy  3 місяці тому

      I'll need the luck 😅 when gravel has that much soil in it, it's basically a flower bed but for weeds.
      I moved into a house with the same thing, and I had to remove the gravel, wash it all in a large sieve. And replace the weed membrane and then put the gravel back.
      It's was as fun a job as it sounds 😂
