That is a disappointment. My backfence neighbour has a lot of
moss under cedars, birch, and other deciduous trees. She says
she rakes the leaves and I see her go through the area picking
weeds only two or three times each summer. You're experience
suggests it may be a more demanding project than that . I'll start
small and build up over a few years.
