Laying the bricks was
much like working a
jigsaw puzzle — just a
little more strenuous!
The bricks were laid
free-hand and were set
with half an inch, more
or less, between each. Random larger spaces
along the edges resulted
from the edging at both
sides being put in place
first. When the crushed
granite was spread over
the bricks to fill all
the spaces, the larger
spaces looked quite
natural. The final step
was to sweep the excess
granite and hose the
pathway. When the
granite dried, it was
set almost as firmly as
concrete. Now we can
admire our
(not-so-professional)
handiwork that allows us
to view the new expanded
bed as we stroll or push
the wheelbarrow or lug
the bags of compost
past. |
