That's a great idea, Jill.
The garden is on a level 5 to 8 ft below the driveway. This season I've been tossing bags of potting soil over the rail into the garden, then carrying them to amend soil in new rose holes. I wish I could get it to work. I see that I would spend the rest of my life carrying bags of mulch if I do the whole thing by hand. By the time I finish mulching the garden, the mulch in the area where I started will have completely decomposed.
The way my garden space is set up, however, getting a Bobcat into the garden would require building a road across a neighbor's property ... or something about as difficult. Had a contractor bid on a nice concrete ramp (along with an improvement to the retaining wall ( to ameliorate the problem and dress up the garden) and it was about the price of two or three nice cars. So I'm trying to figure out how to get there from here another way.
Perhaps there is a small landscape company that has lots of 22 year olds who could move it with wheelbarrows. Gotta find out.
