For along time this was just overgrown with weeds, but now hubby has cleared it I don't want to spend much as it's a bit out of the way, but I'd just like something to fill the space and look slightly nicer than mixed weeds. Any ideas for plants that will grow quickly from seed to fill a large but thin space like this, not get too tall or too wild to obstruct the path, and won't mind the shade? Thanks Hostas and gravel on top of the soil? Sacha, why gravel on top of the soil? Just asking. Baz To discourage the slugs. It also sets the Hostas off well and seems to suit them! Scattering hodgehegs would be better... -- Rusty Hinge |
