    Being very into traditional Japanese culture I did large Zen rock gardens in my front lawn area for the neighborhood to enjoy. Yup, the neighborhood cats really loved it too and I finally had to give it up.

    A question ..
    i made some mounds innthe zen garden to imitate hills ... i am thinking to cover these mounds with the protection of the soil that will later on contain gravel ..
    The mounds should be in future covered with moss or weeds .. so for making roots of moss and weeds i thought to put a thin layer 2 ” of soil ?
    What do you think ?
    Your appreciate advice !
    Thanks. Josh
