[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look for native plants. [b]Plant fewer plants farther apart than you think they should.[/b] Mulch.[/quote] Why? Plants like company, and you'll also have less weeds if you plant densely. You don't want to end up with isolated plants in a sea of mulch. There was an interesting article recently in the NYT about this: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/30/style/understanding-what-makes-plants-happy.html[/quote] Thanks for posting this. I am always confused by the conflicting advice--give plants room or pack them together to prevent weeds. I wish they had published a list of sociability numbers for various plants--they do give some tips, however. I just planted a garden in back and it does look like a sea of mulch![/quote]
