Stabilizing Soil



On Saturday, we spent much of the day working to stabilize the soil by placing mulch on our lot and the back yard of the house next door (which we borrowed for a period of time during construction). We used up all of the leaf mulch the City of Falls Church had, and we used a good bit of their wood chip mulch as well. We'll find some more leaf mulch, either in Arlington or Fairfax County, so we can finish placing that in the neighbor's yard and then seed a lawn to replace the lawn/weed mixture we killed with the clay earth stored there for several months.
