still a mess- green boards for raised beds. moved the stone path. installing bender board....
i love mulch- it's instant gratification.
Garbage bags for under the mulch to keep the weeds down. Thank goodness we did that because after the big rains the backyard looked like a lawn- it was so green and weedy. However, where we laid down the garbage bags there was only the occasional weed that managed to sprout up through one of the drainage holes we poked.
