Thanks to all for the thoughts on gardening in gravel....I am
thrilled....had NO IDEA that I could grow things here!
Just one more question......I am not sure if I asked this before.....but
the area right now is totally covered with weeks, looks like a lawn, it
is so completely covered!~ To get rid of the weeds....Roundup???? and
then, should we put that landscape carpet down(can't think of what it is
called), or just mulch? Would rather not have too many weeds
return....this is a half-sun area, so the weeds love it!
Thanks!
