Rocks On Rocks On Rocks

Welcome to my side yard. 

This narrow strip of sloping soil has given me nothing but heartache ever since the day I moved in. 

Too sloping and skinny for a proper walkway and too close to the fence to properly improve.

A crooked little path, it seems to be good for just one thing. 

Rocks. 

Rocks on rocks on rocks. 

Over the years, we dug up each and every one of these granite trophies from our garden beds. There's no easy way to get rid of them, so we've made a home for them here.

Rocks on rocks on rocks. 

Heaped up along a crooked little path.

Someday, I will build a long and skinny deck that fills the space between the house and the fence, and the rocks will live happily underneath. 

But I don't have money for that right now.So I'm dreaming up some low- to no-cost strategies to deal with this space.
