Las Vegas Gardening - Smoothing Pathways
I found that the wooden back of the broom is much better for spreading rock, sand, etc. The brush side just made the job more work for me. Notice the themometer against the blocks? It reads 120F. That's because this is the highest number on this particular thermometer, but the meat thermometer reads 138 in the sun. However, it's too small to read in the picture. The only reason I am out here in this heat is to take this picture, normally I do this physical work real early in the morning or after the sun goes down.
The plant near my feet is a squash plant growing in good soil in a buried half barrel. With ample water it grows just fine over the sizzling rock in full sun.
