ME !!! Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing It gets cold up here in winter and area rugs are not enough of of an insulation. Bare floors are also much more work to keep clean when you heat with wood. No. I am not dumb. I'd rather have carpet than be cold. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing

Actually, I am having my carpet replaced this month and talked with Dave about using carpet as a weed barrier. He told me he first learned about it when a customer came in several years ago and ordered strips of indoor/outdoor carpeting for both her very large vegetable garden and her berry patch. Her son is still using the same carpet.

Dave, at the Floor Store, adopted her idea for his own large vegetable garden and told me he hasn't had to do any serious weeding in years. Sounds like a good recommendation to me.

Smiles,

I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
