    Lynn,

    I like using newspaper also--my DH thought I was crazy when I did this until he figured out what I was doing. I have never used the gardening cloth or plastic. Good tip.

    Gonna give this one a try. After I started having those nasty seizures a few months ago, haven't really been able to get outside. My flower beds look horrible! Can get out there now that it's cooler and meds have begum to work. Thankfully we already have the mulch just waiting to be put down. Won't be buying much of anything in the near future, with nothing coming in now!

    Hey maybe while I'm out there digging, I'll find a buried treasure from the previous owners!!!! Thank God for humor or I'd lose my mind!
