Moss Island Redo

I have been waiting most of the summer to repair the small moss islands in the stroll garden. Originally, the moss in this one island was harvested from my wife's vegetable garden. It was unlike the moss I had harvested from within the Zen garden that ended up in the other island.

Zen Garden Moss - 2017

Because of the large amount of rain we had for the first half of the summer, there was plenty of moss to fill the entire island.

Now the island looks similar to the larger nearby island.

Next year I will start to let moss take over some areas of the Zen garden. Doing so will cut down on the need for mulch having to be replenished each year and should add some interest to the overall look of the garden. In the meantime, the small island in the stroll garden islands look pretty good.

Furthermore, I will always have a plentiful supply of repair material from within the Zen garden if its ever needed.
