Well the people I hired to clean out that bed, hopefully got all of the poison ivy! I can actually see the old bones of that overgrown bed! During the course of neglect .. I lost a couple of hosta, but my coral bells, hydrangea and a few other things actually do not look to bad considering the drought.

Now I need to work on it. So more has been added to my fall to-do list! First thing is to get some soil amendments in there. Maybe add some Preen to help stop the weed seeds from sprouting??

What kind of mulch do you use, up close to the foundation of a house?
