Las Vegas, I'm so happy to have you on the board so I can ask some free questions. LOL. You sound so knowledgeable and I'm confused as to why in Florida, the garden beds even have stone or straw? Is it necessary? I really don't like the look of it at all, and in California, we just used plain old dirt. Periodically, maybe twice a year, we added more soil to replenish what has eroded from the rain (although we didn't get much rain) and we also used the plastic underlay to keep the weed growth to a minimum, if that possible.

My question is, can this be done in Florida as well? Thanks for your reply, I might call you to discuss this. You've been very helpful. Kath
