Swimming pool & gardens
16th Sept 06
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 |

Larger mulch particles ie: different mulch type. Try asking some of these people http://directory.ourbrisbane.com/dir.../10/11329.html or ask another swimming pool company... |

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.... |
