I'm a neat freak in the garden, most everything is cleaned up already. Still have to get my pots ready, I can't plant the annuals until the 24th of May.
It starts out as beer bottles! Some times, I'll find a tiny piece of a label. It really keeps the weeds away from the paths. The tumbling helps to dull the edges of the glass pieces.
I use it down behind our pond in a shady area. I've also used it as ground cover on succulents to hold the heat. It lasts twice as long as mulch. I don't think it's for everyone, just works for me.
It doesn't look very shiny before the sand is washed but I've seen the after pictures so I know it is quite nice. I wonder if there is anything in this area.
