Hey masiman, No the point doesn`t get in the way when rolling a log. Approach the log with the handle of the peavey between 45° and parallel to the ground with the hook hanging down and shove the handle forward as you contact the log so engage the hook, now push up using mostly your legs and the log rolls. You do roll towards the point for log rolling. The point is essential for getting between tightly jammed logs. I know that some guys prefer a cant hook to a peavey for log rolling but I expect that is probably due to never using a peavey, or log hook. I`ve used and own both and I prefer the peavey for the reasons stated. When buying a hook get the longest that is comfortable and handy for your average work. This is usually somewhere between 48" to 60". The relatively new LogRite brand tools are quite nice but then there is nothing wrong with the wooden handled ones if you don`t leave them out in the weather for extended periods.

Thanks for the comments everyone! I worked my behind off today digging an edge and then papering covering with compost and mulching today. It was very hot and humid, so it was tiring. There's a couple pics on the link below. I do plan on going down the length of the deck. I decided on the curve, the dwarf fruit tree will be in that area. I have a little lawn flag there. (Lorna, I did do the stand and stare for awhile! lol)You can't really tell in the pic since only the white of the flag shows up, not where it goes in the ground. The bed will come straight down along the deck. Does that make sense? lol. I need that drawing on the pic thing some of you do. Anyway, the curved area was enough for now. I had just enough paper, cardboard, compost, and mulch to do what I did. We are going to the cottage to see if we have more big flagstone pieces to put down. Other wise I have to buy some. I have a bunch of plants to put in already. I'm not sure how long I should wait before I start planting. This is the first time I've done his method. Anybody done this before? How long does it take?

You know what? I've been finding that I'm getting some very interesting colors from variegated African violets that are growing under fluorescent lights. Most of my plants are growing in the window, but I put a couple in some of my terrariums, and I have some leaves started on a lower shelf under fluorescents also. These guys get no sunlight. One of my plantlets is growing leaves that are completely pink (they're supposed to be green, cream, and pink variegated.) Another one is also growing more pink bits than normal, and is very variegated. It was never this variegated in the window. Maybe it's something to do with the fluorescents? I'm just throwing it out there as one of the reasons you may be getting very bright red leaves, when those in sunlight aren't so much. But I don't know for sure.

I don't have words to describe this work of art. Girlie, if you ever get discovered by the right person, you have a business ahead of you. This is professional work!!!!! Get out there and market it!!!
