Our dog too! Happily, he will pee in the stones as well, although not his favorite.

gomoho, I've had my years of organic gardening, and really enjoyed it. Then we moved to a condo, where I discovered container gardening. Now I'm here and would like to free up as much time as possible for exercise and pickleball and socializing. So we took the easy way out o landscaping. I enjoy viewing the landscaping of those who do their own and sometimes wax nostalgic, but I know I would not keep that up due to time and so much bending, so I continue with the container gardening and rock mulch in the yard landscaping.

But I still love the look of bark mulch and a real crisp natural edging.
