    I'm still trying to figure out how the vest should be handeled in the corduroy jacket conversion I'm working on trying to get started. I need to know if the vest should be changed at the bottom to match the cut away for the jacket for the sporran. In other words, If you were to close the kilt jacket, would you see any of the vest in the cut away for the sporran?

    I'm asking this question in several of my threads and other places.

    That being said, I worked a little more on that trench I dug a little while back. I pulled a little mor soil out of it and leveled it just a little bit with a hoe. After that, I did a load of laundry, the whites, and used the wash water to flood the trench This will settle the bottom and soften up the soil a bit under that. At some point I will fill the trench with compost about half way, then mix about half the origenal soil back in. That will have to be worked together with the compost and the bottom of the trench will need to be made un even by sticking the shovel in there and making wedge shaped cuts into the ground. That will keep the water from just stopping and sitting at a level change in the soil structure. And now that I think about it, I should probably work a little extra pea gravel down in all of that... I'm planting a rosemary hedge and need drainage.

    I tried to ask my inner curmudgeon before posting, but he sprayed me with the garden hose…
    Yes, I have squirrels in my brain…
