Hello all
We live in a typical semi - small front garden next to driveway. Our house has no outside access from front to back so we took away the lawn so as to avoid having to drag the lawnmower though the house. Since then we've put some weed-stop material down and covered with bark/mulch. We've put in a few spreading low ground plants (I don't know the names sorry).
Problems - mushrooms grow in the mulch, the fabric keeps popping up in wee hills, so you can see it and it looks ugly. Plants growing round the side are pushing up the edges or the fabric.
Sigh, I'm a bit fed-up with it to be honest.. I live in one of those streets with lots of elderly people with immaculate front gardens and I feel like they must look on it with disgust.
Suggestions anyone? We have a 16m old so not a lot of time for gardening.. All ideas very gratefully received.
