My landscape book discourages rock gardens unless you really want it since
picking the rocks back up in nothing but labor. In other words, there
really no easy way to remove them.

om...
Mt wife and I have recently purchased a home that had (at some point)
a large area (maybe 30' by 25') which was once a rock garden (no rock
bigger than 3"). With no knowledge of rock gardens (or gardening in
general), it would appear that it hasn't been taken care of in many,
many years. We would both rather restore the space to grass as the
rest of the lawn is absolutely beautiful, and we would like to utilize
the space.
Does anyone have any suggestions as I have searched endlessly for
weeks in both Google and other sites. Maybe I'm not coming up with
the correct key-words, but I have yet to find anything informative. I
also realize that this may be a project better left for my checkbook,
but I would still like to know exactly what needs to be done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
