have ill health now so i need to make the garden easier to maintain.
There are lots of weeds at the moment, which i plan to have removed.
Then some weed control fabric and stone chippings.



Only a moron would choose to fill a garden area with pebbles... normal
folks spend much of their gardening efforts getting rid of stones and
this dummy wants to add more stones... if you think you have work now
just wait until you go chasing all those stones that no matter what
will constantly migrate far and wide. Rhodies and azaleas are acid
loving, they don't want alkaline stones... use a pine bark nugget
mulch over the cloth.
