Hi
I have a swimming pool with raised garden beds surrounding it. My problem
is the soil, mulch, leaf litter all ends up in the pool, we were led to
believe that the mulch we put on would not end up in the pool but it does.
Has anyone got a solution to this other than covering the gardens with
pebbles.
cheers
Sandra


SWMBO will let you transport the pool to our place hehehehe


Good idea..But dont be a cheapskate buy your own!!!
But having the mulch higher than the pool is asking for trouble.
A pool cover would also help a bit....It also prevents evaporation, but
doesnt really solve much as the mulch would end up on the cover, and
then the mulch will end up in the pool again...when removing it...
Some american company actually makes artificial mulch made out of rubber....
