Not sure about peanut straw depends on where it comes from, could have some noxious weeds in it, but I do know that pea straw is good mulch :-)) I've heard of peanut hulls for mulch. Peanut straw is a one I've yet to hear of, but would give it if it's the right price. |

Thanks for those who replied with helpful suggestions. Another idea I've
just had is to check out what the actual weeds growing there are. After all a weed is just a plant where it's not wanted. I thought maybe if I chose the most attractive, lowest one, and if it's not bad to have around maybe that would do the job, and encourage just that one. I know it would like the conditions. |

Hi, we have a small backyard with a beautiful big tree and lots of shade during the summer which is great for the kids - not having to worry about sunscreen when they play outside. It does mean of course that lawn won't grow - thats fine, we're not big gardeners, and what with regular mowing and water restrictions it's not an option. But currently there is a mix of dirt areas, weeds and so forth so it would be nice to have something semi attractive. So I'm looking for suggestions - I've been looking at various gardening sites, and seen ideas such as Vinca Minor, chamomile, moss and of course mondo grass but I'm sure there must be lots of possibilites I don't know about. I'd put down pine bark, if it's that shady. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) http://chookiesbackyard.blogspot.com/ |
