Levi’s Old House — photograph 21 — Another shot of the Lillies. Unlike many of the lots in Woodmen Hills (Falcon) we used a lot of mulch. Mulch is better for the soil, is cooler, and better for the plants compared to rock. This was fine tree mulch died dark brown from Rocky Top Resc. It took 32 cuyds to mulch the entire yard. I top dressed about every 3-5 years. The soil became noticeably better over a few years. More earthworms, better moisture, and easier to cultivate.
