No to herbicides. I’m raising a Monarch caterpillar in my lanai right now and if all goes well it will emerge to become a beautiful butterfly. To suppress weeds in a rock bed, I added pine straw( Ace)and a peat moss blend.(Lowe’s) Planted some lantana to spread over rocks also to block weed formation. I’m experimenting with coffee grounds on my rock beds that have no added mulch to see what happens. I don’t mind hand pulling weeds sometimes because it calms me down!
