[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love gardening and native plants but there is nothing low maintenance about it. This isn’t Arizona. Here, the only way to grow native plants in a suburban setting is to be constantly at war with invasive weeds. That’s the reality and I wish the native plant lobby would be more up front about it. It’s also nearly impossible to outsource. The reason people do lawn and bare mulch with shrubs is because it’s by far the easiest option to maintain and to outsource said maintenance. [/quote] OP here and I don't really get the difference. The weeds are there no matter the kind of plant, native or not. If you plant your plants closer together, less weeding to do. I still mulch because my plants aren't filled in enough not to and that works well enough. too. But in my experience, natives don't mean more weeds whatsoever.[/quote]
