Also you can still plant into the gravel with things like low growing alpines which would be lovely with the rocks. Add some grit to the soil if growing alpines and don't plant deeply because they don't like to be soggy, neither do grasses, they will sulk in the wet!Amy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-18576645550465462612017-05-04T07:29:50.845+01:002017-05-04T07:29:50.845+01:00Separate email with photos to follow, but as I'...Separate email with photos to follow, but as I'm clearing my new garden, we have a LOT, and I mean A LOT of largish stones which you are more than welcome to have if you like - instead of bark or gravel for ground cover.joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12288268403388265748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-21904126393750843782017-05-03T20:18:38.034+01:002017-05-03T20:18:38.034+01:00Thank youThank youEileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5734193338502038294.post-56203432776476656522017-05-03T19:20:08.758+01:002017-05-03T19:20:08.758+01:00The secret to keeping grasses non-invasive is to k...The secret to keeping grasses non-invasive is to keep them in their pots. Bury the pots in the ground and the roots will not be able to sneak across your flower beds when your back is turned. You can then lift the pot split the plant, when it is pot bound, and keep control. The bark idea is a good one and should look lovely arounf the rocks. I haven't heard of cats using it as a free loo like they do with pea gravel. Ladkyishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08835766855890936214noreply@blogger.com
