We build a serenity garden (above) in the quietest part of our lot, which also
functions as the view from the ADU kitchen and bedroom. We used some
basalt rock that was already in that corner and a lot of rubble concrete we got
free from people trying to get rid of it. We purchased the lighter colored
rocks.
Composting not only reduces your garbage a lot, but it creates new soil to
amend you garden every year, saving money on both ends. The small shed holds
leaves or other brown matter we add to our kitchen scraps to make the right
compost mix. We got these bins ("Urban Compost tumblers, UCT7")
on the internet from the manufacturer in Portland, OR.
The concrete monolith in the top picture was a piece we just couldn't find a
place to put, so as a joke we stood it on end. Then we liked it that way,
so there it still is. The slate walkway stones are visible in both
pictures.
