I just had a horrible mess of weeds dug up on the roses path against the S. wall of the house. Did half myself and had gardener do the rest*. REALLY tenacious deep-rooted grass.
This path leads into a roundish area containing a Princess plant, the sewer out- whatever (has a cap you can pull off), and a faucet that drips all the time, no doubt nourishing weeds.
*He mixed up the small stones covering the roundish area, so I had a hell of a time pulling them all out. I then covered the area with a double sheet of plastic, over which I re-piled the stones, being careful to remove the dirt that came with them.Point of all this is to ask whether anybody has had experience with this kind of solution to keeping weeds down. I'd hate to go through this again soon!
Any info appreciated.
