Crop Circles!
March 2, 2011
Here’s a cool project from Sunset Magazine – Crop Circles! I think I’ll have to go dig up some of the moss around the outside of the greenhouse! 
A traditional dish garden is small and highlights miniature, jewel-like plants. Utilizing rocks and moss in contrasting colors, these fun alternatives make an artful addition to your patio or deck.
HOW TO MAKE ONE
1. Using terra-cotta bowls with drainage holes ― we chose 6- and 12-inch shallow ones ― as guides for circles and a metal ruler to trace stripes, cut mud flats of groundcover such as deep green Irish moss and/or golden green Scotch moss with a paring knife.
2. Fill bowls with potting soil and plant groundcover.
3. To add a circle or spiral of polished stones, arrange them on the groundcover and cut guidelines around them.
4. Remove the stones, cut out a channel between the guidelines, then replace the stones. Keep dish garden out of full sun and water once a week. Diluted plant food will help keep it green.
