OOOoooo! Yes, this! Nice soft springy moss that likes being walked on. With a little stone path leading absolutely nowhere. Make it a little fairy garden!

It’s always nice when it gets to 6 of more inches thick. You have to lay on it.

There must be years worth of dead leaves piled up in there.

Ooo, leaf compost.
