hi back susan..this was in a raised bed and well mulched over winter..I
bought hubby a chipper a few years ago, we we lost a bunch of trees and
it just made sense to chip, also we were digging out brambles and trying
to haul the dead killer sticks to the dump..so we chipped them too..so
the bed is, I well amended and I also compost into it in the spring.

I have a similar situation but don't want to spend big bucks on lav that
isn't going to make it..where did you get your Hidcote?
>The thing I like about lavender as an edger is you can mow it!
this sounds wonderful..and just what I want,
Also want to edge a new rose bed that just got tilled up outa good ole
clay..I'm going to a friend on Cooper MT who has horses next week and get
a load of horse and straw for it and then take my cultivator to it
again..we are on a Lawn Reclamation Project!
