[quote=Anonymous]I have a lot of blank spaces in my flower beds. As a result, I tend to have a lot of weeds. The previous owner of the house planted some nice shrubs like azaleas and lilac but 4 years later, the most of the shrubs are still tiny. (I think because the soil is so bad and they may have not been ideally placed regarding sun needs.) I have plans for the flower beds that get the most sun (and the most weeds) but I'm not sure what do with the beds up near the house which are more shady or part-shade. And there is an area where a tree has grown so big, it has shaded the rose bushes planted below it and they've died away. I'm thinking that perhaps what I need is some shade loving ground cover. I would need to be deer resistant and, preferably, do well in poor/clay soil. Any suggestions? Or am I completely delusional that a ground cover will help crowd out weeds? Right now I try to keep the beds mulched but its a lot of work.[/quote]
