I like the chipped bark in our garden bed out front. Whoever built the bed put down landscape fabric, then positioned the in-ground and potted plants, and spread the bark around the whole thing. I do plan on adding a couple of rocks, but by that I mean the larger size rocks. Gneiss and schist, perhaps 5 or 6 total spread out between the flower bed in the middle of the front lawn and between the bushes up against the house. These are the types of stones that make up most of the stone walls of New England, and I want to bring a natural, subtle touch of home to my new home.
