Weed barrier ideas at work! This may take a few years…
The daffodils came back. They look so beautiful! In theory, according to a book we read, the daffodils should eventually be able to create a solid barrier so that the grass cannot get inside the circle. (We also need to remove the rest of the grass from inside the circle…)
We also planted Bergenia last year. It looks like all the plants came back. They are very hardy and will out-compete the grass. We have only implemented this on about 8 apple trees. Maybe next year we’ll expand it to some of the other fruit trees!
