Re: Ground cover

Hope it works out. I visited a small nursery in Seattle that used 3/8- washed gravel for paths. It packed down nicely & didn't track all over like sand or bark mulch or bare dirt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "james singer" <islandjim1@comcast.net>

Good idea. Thanks, Judy. We're going nursery shopping tomorrow, so that's something else to look for.

Looking for ground cover suggestions. It's shady and gets a lot of foot traffic [dog foot traffic, that is]. Is astroturf the only sensible answer?
