decomposed granite terraced slopes

…is the beautifully warm-colored soft-textured stone that comes up with almost every shovel and trowel on my hill, which I covered my roof with as it was coming up from the ground in my early gardening days here – and these days re-working the land I first worked a decade ago, I’m making new terraced areas, digging up even more decomposed granite, covering the terraced slopes with it, and inserting cuttings of my favorite sprawling succulents.
