Thanks Michele! I kept thinking about how expensive it must have been to fill the beds, not to mention all that work, just to turn it back into lawn eventually. Hopefully the filling for the beds can be moved to his son's place when he's ready?
I wish I could find fine pine bark here. The online versions of the stores say they carry it, but I've never seen it here. I'd love to get a truckload for my little seedling beds.
