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.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!

But I'm with Sweetie. We tracked way too much pine straw into the house. But then, you don't have a dog, and maybe Sweetie is more careful than Ron is. Or has smaller feet.
