The flowerbeds in front of my house could use some work.

I’ve recently become a fan of Roy Diblik’s garden designs. He uses plants that grow well together, and he plants them densely so weeds are naturally suppressed. The result is a very low-maintenance garden that looks like a Monet painting, and even in fall the layers of “dead” plants provide visual interest.

Damn, who put that grass in your flowerbed? 😕

There’s no grass in the flowerbeds, just mulch, weeds, and three shrubs each. Or, are you trying to make a point about how I should get rid of the grass on my front lawn?

Hell yeah! MULCH FOR THE MULCH GOD, FLOWERS FOR THE FLOWER THRONE.

I kind of like the idea of getting rid of the lawn, but that’s a bigger project than I want. Also, my neighbors and I get enough rain that our front yards stay green enough without any watering. Besides mowing, which I enjoy, it’s basically maintenance free.
