What would i do without all of yall's artistic minds.It never occured to me to do that.
I was just thinking of them as a problem spot.But they don't bother me,i do have drift wood for the bed so they will fit right in.
Now that's solved just fill in around them & then plant something
Any opinions on the other roots? These tree's aren't anywhere near my rock garden.They are just an eye soar.
They are on the top of the top,first terrace (we called it).The weather especially with all the rain we have had over the last 3 months has really washed that hill pretty bad.It goes all the way across my yard,above it it's flat
,then there's the road.I thought if i tried to fill in between the roots,plant something & then maybe use
rock,something to hold the dirt until the plants can cover then the roots at the bottom of the trees would be covered and would keep dirt in that spot & without hurting the tree's.
I read an article about putting beds around trees.It said not to!! The flowers would take nutrients from the tree.So if i planted things with shallow roots & added dirt,fertilized maybe that wouldn't be a problem.
Wonder if i should have put this in a forum that wasn't so specific to a type of plant?I may find help with this one in a sedum or something besides semp's & jovi's.This isn't part of my rock garden,maybe i should have put the first picture on a different thread??
If you could line these pictures up there would be one missing between the last 2.That's the top terrace i speak of.The "thing" in the 1st. picture is going in my rock garden my gs (5 yrs. old) calls it an ostrich sp.You know the big birds,i also have a metal cat & a rooster pot holder i think i may work into the bed.My father-in-law makes yard art.
I am thinking about ground covers to keep the dirt from washing.Hubby working on grass
Like i said this should be on another forum,but which one??
Any idea's Lynn,your good at what should go where.
Sorry,i got wordy again!!
