RE: RE : Ground Cover??

Hi Gene,  Ground Ivy grows really well there, but it just isn't the type of
ground cover I had in mind.  However, beggars can't be choosers now can
they??  I do like your idea of making it a destination, just don't know why
I didn't think of that.  Will need to limb the tree up a bit though; thanks
for your help.  Rich

Hello Rich,
    You say "nothing really grows there". I am assuming a few things do, but
not well? Do the limbs come back all the way to the ground around the tree,
forming a screen?
    Know I am speaking heresy here, but if nothing will grow there now, I
would not plant anything under the tree. Mulch, move in a nice arrangement
with a bench, large containers, a big rock or two... go sit there and read a
book instead of trying to grow something. Sounds as though the willow is
getting all the moisture....
    This is all rather difficult to do without paying you a visit and
actually seeing what you are describing......
