If you're going to use a landscape fabric / ground cover for garden paths with the intent to put bark, pea gravel or something else down that isn't concrete or brick and mortar, I would highly recommend that you use a heavy duty, woven, UV-resistant, polypropylene fabric that is nursery-grade. And use round head wire pins to stake it down.
I’m redoing the pathways in our raised bed garden. I’ve removed all the old bark (and used it in other beds that needed a refresh), weeded every path and now it’s time to put down heavy duty woven landscape fabric like you see at nurseries (good stuff). Then, I’ll bring in some natural playground chips for the paths.
Well, it's time to turn the compost bins and it's a perfect morning for it. Cool and overcast. I'll be turning, mixing, aerating, and wetting down the layers as I go. I'll also be adding in bags of well-rotted manure to the mix. Daisy makes an appearance at 02:27 and 03:16 😊
Well...it's time slacker... I've been putting off a weed patch clean up but it happens today. And it just so happens that I filmed it for your garden clean up viewing pleasure. I had a tidy little storage area of pots, welded wire, and t-posts sitting on old pallets and it was a weed magnet.

Join me for a peaceful day in the garden as I continue the journey of creating a garden: Shortmeadow. I'm planting boxwoods, roses, green giants and relocating a Japanese maple. It's a clear, sunny March day, and my loyal English Setter, Daisy, is right by my side (as always), enjoying the sunshine.
