Rock is called Alberta Rainbow Rock, probably under a different name elsewhere, shows its color when wet. I cut a strip of grass out so I could have the rock be about 4” deep where the grass is. Other than that left the old grass to compost underneath the rest.

Also did the same around the other garden beds, it’s hosed down a little here for the color.

Do you just get steel planting hoops from the hardware store? What are your grow beds in the first picture?

They were some plant and plot 2’x4’ raised beds on Amazon.

One of the cheaper options, I would have went for wood, but damn it’s expensive and using a drill and hammer is terrible for my carpal tunnel right now.

Well they look great! Probably will stand up better to wet dirt over time anyway
