When life hands you rocks...

...use them to landscape your yard!

 We lined the bottom of our rock wall with some weed blocking material with the idea of covering it with rocks we already had in the yard.

   To help prevent too much dirt from ending up on the weed block fabric, we used a few things from around the yard to allow us to filter the rocks from the dirt. This worked pretty well, although slow-going. We just shoveled areas that were especially rocky and dumped the load on top of the grate, letting the smaller rocks and dirt fall through into the black bin.
 
 We started creating a boarder of larger rocks along the edge of the area to help contain the smaller rocks and look spiffy.

After a few loads of rocks, here is the result! This is only a small section, but we'll definitely be spending more time getting this just right.
