BigSlider and the Japanese Moss Garden

Sadly we lost our beautiful oak tree several years ago. Since the tree protected our moss garden and west-facing sliding glass door from the sun and heat, we needed to replace it with shade. We read about the bamboo fuji-dan (pronounced WOO-gee-don) as a wisteria vine pergola in the Journal of Japanese Gardening and decided to adapt it to our needs. Tip and I put the bamboo structure together on the first day, and Manuel and Grandpa came over the second day with 10 ft cedar posts. They used the BigSlider™ Heavy Duty Tray to distribute the excess post hole soil in the low spots around the yard. They also used it to remove bricks from around the posts and bring back the beautiful river rock from its storage location in the farthest corner of the back yard. BigSlider™ Heavy Duty Tray made it easy to do in one trip! We topped the structure with two layers of 6 ft x 16 ft reed fencing from the hardware store to emulate the deep shade of the oak tree (one layer shown here). Now...we water and wait! PS Do you know how to feed moss? Warm, flat beer!
