Rock Glue

I didn't believe it either when I was told about it.  I went to YouTube to find out what I could. After watching several videos and hearing favorable reviews, I decided to try it.
The product is a little pricey ($34/32oz.) but, I was lucky enough to have an Amazon gift card. 

I'd also need a sprayer

(something else I'd never used)
I once again went to YouTube for instructions. After watching  an exhausting amount of videos I decided to try it.

Here's the problem .  Along the side of the house, grass had died and didn't grow back leaving a rocky  area that the yard man didn't want to weed with his weeder for fear that he'd break a window.  I was offered suggestions as to what I might do.

 Glued pea gravel was my choice. It would match the pea gravel I have in the flower bed.
The glue needs 24-48 hours to cure. Fortunately, I was able to get 24 hours without rain. The next few days were periodic rainstorms and I was afraid things might not stick.

As you will see below everything is still in place. I'd count this as a success. 


I'm waiting for lawn edging I ordered from Amazon to neaten up the edges.  (Yes, I waited until Prime Day before ordering.) According to users the glue lasted for about a year in low traffic areas. After a year they resprayed the area with the glue. 

That's it ***

Minimalist Flower Bed

 I was ready for a change. 



Trimming shrubbery has become a chore.  I needed something more manageable.  After looking around and on the NET I found what I wanted. I got the best inspiration from the yards of a relative and a neighbor.

Here are the inspirations from neighbor and relative.

Now to get the work done  

Shout out to GP for the great landscaping.






And finally, it's done.  Everything is the  the way I wanted it. Weeds abated. Three knock out roses🌹 and potted plants; mum🌻and rosemary.  These  are easy to keep and  can also be swapped out. The Shepherd's Hook will be used at a later date.

COMING SOON
