I find that having our pine straw deep enough it keeps weeds from happening. That is what they do in the common areas all around town, they use pine straw and that is pretty effective if you look closely you rarely see weeds.
There are advocates of bark chips, stones etc.etc.etc.
I am a staunch advocate for pine straw...Sweetie is not. He is thinkng stones. So far pine straw is winning. But we need to do it again soon, have new straw. We are having a disagreement.
I will get custody of the cats and Helene. He says he will. 
I hope it doesn't come to that. Things have been working out real good so far in our marriage...and come next week, it will be 51 years. |
Nice and very amusing post! My lawn service are excellent and very accommodating, which I suppose cannot be said for all lawn services. I am thinking of switching to pine straw as the weeds are really really enjoying my very expensive "organic" mulch.
As for switching the "other half" for a newer model -- we've got to the age where no one would want either one of us, so this is it till death do us part ............ you get the drift!
