We have a new street tree in front. NYC's standard tree pit size is now4-1/2 x 9 feet. It is right along the curb. With nine feet along the curbthere will be people getting out of cars and into the pit.So what ground cover can take this the best? It would seem to me thatmyrtle/perrywinkle would be better than English ivy, which would be betterthan pachysandra.Other plants (e.g. spring bulbs) could be added further from the curb.Don e-mail at page bottom.

In NYC unless you first enclose that space with a heavy gauge wroughtiron fence you're wasting your time.

Best ground cover to walk on?

What has saying to DER that I like his idea better than mine got to do with housekeeping?

As for being a know nothing we have been head to head on several occasions over some of your more foolish remarks and you are yet to get a score on the board. Why don't you grow up and find some other way to get your jollies instead of insulting people you have never met.

Good luck, David, but I'm afraid that Shelly is dumber than your smarts. He is a self made fool, and probably a drunk, meaning that he is under some sort of protection from the All Mighty.
