this falls into the category of... "oh, that's how they do that".........
was driving down US route 1 (you know the one that goes from maine all the way down to florida), when i caught sight of a flame in my peripheral vision. always intensely curious about things i've never seen before, i turned around at gillette stadium and went back. this is in the parking lot of a nice restaurant and this is how they get rid of the pesky grass that grows up in the cracks of the parking lot pavement--
a flame thrower. it is a wand with a flexible hose, attached to a propane tank, i think.
it reminds me of coming up over a hill in kansas after dark and seeing the horizon lit with a line of fire because they were burning off the wheat stubble after the harvest.

Final bed with stone spiral up the mound. I'm sprouting some herbs from seed to help fill this 'herb spiral' and will also be transplanting some herbs from the other beds to make room for veggies in those.
Total time - about an hour laying out where I wanted it using sticks...an hour digging the edge of the circle...then maybe 6 hours digging, pulling sod, laying the sod back in, covering it and putting the rocks around.
