Starting a Mandala Garden

Posted by Maria Louwé about 1 year ago

My adventures of turning a project from a patio to be to a mandala garden to be. I can use some input here. Been scouring the net for days to gather ideas..

The small plot of land was to be a patio, I want to turn it into a mandala garden. But, contrary to all that I have read thus far in leaving the vegetation, all the grasses have to go because the grounds have to be leveled back. And the big rootstructure keeps us from doing that. At first I saved the whole heap of grass (in the first picture, that was not even half of it..), only to see that it was loaded with grasseeds, I do not want to take the chance and have the supergrassseeds on my soil....

The soil we have to level had been removed to construct small walls in the ground, 4 blocks deep, so that soil was somewhere in the middle, together with building materials.. Had to clean that up first. Now the leveling has begun. Will update when in the next phase.
