We Need A New Grond Cover

And to that, I have another word:

Amen.

What they said.

I prefer rocks or gravel myself. Or lots of vegetation. How about some nice fern?

Where's Bob when you need him? 100% of my mad landscape skillz come from this third world rock I live on.

I'll be on a job tomorrow that I did with decorative gravel. I'll get some pics.

I kinda forgot I started this "discussion" over here in living plant world.

Most of you nail benders can suck my grass.

Actually you were funny and I love the banter but shut it will you.

We have a serious problem here. My wife is reaching that point where she is going to threaten to hire someone to do something. Have you ever been there? Its frightening.
She runs a nice business out of that slave's quarters there and she has her standards. I'm not allowed to mention a possible shift in said standards.

For once I would love to beat her to the punch and earn the upper hand.

Today I will go over to the place we bought the soil for the raised beds and find someone that can shed a light on this subject.

If I find something worth reporting I'll post up.

Let the banter continue children.

So, what exactly does the boss want? Beautiful, living entities, or dull and boring inanimate objects?

What are the maintenance requirements/limitations?

Maybe she could get Manny to come and build her a pond?

Gus Dering

Everything is closed today, slackers

We live in a place that water conservation is important. So grass is being removed more than it's going in. All the plants that are there now are not that thirsty and we don't want to add more.

I think I just have to get used to the idea that I will be adding bark or mulch every year for the rest of my days. Once I get used to the idea I'll feel better about it. I just want to add the right stuff is all.

What?!? You didn't like my marble idea. WTF is wrong with you Californians?

And I rarely use nails.

Thats because you are afraid you would bend them.

Still don't see what's wrong with
laying pavers or flag stone where you
have those big swaths of mulch?

But has it occurred to you that you
are the only one here who'll be forced to
move into Halley's house if Mrs. Gus ain't happy?

I wish somebody would post some pictures of a good solution. I have a back yard that really needs some gound cover . I have 3 mexican fan palms with monkey grass on the edges of the beds.

How about a rock garden:

There may be nothing wrong with your idea,Neo.
I'll run it past the committee and see if has teeth.

Halle has her own bedroom down the hall. I won't freeze to death in there, but your point sends shivers up a man's spine none the less.

As far as the loose stones go, Charlie, She no likey. Those white stones left a deep scar.

My apology to Halle for the spelling.
I have a "niece" named Halley
(same pronunciation).
Guess what year she was born?

Same year that Gus V (#5) was born.

Was she born in a hot tub by candlelight with people chanting to the sound of a didgeridoo?

Asphalt the whole backyard and paint it green.

This is the midwest.

I think it was Dark Side of the Moon?
