I am planting elephant pin heads on our verge. We have a narrow garden going up the driveway and around the pin heads. I want to put brown gravel stones there. How do I go about this to prevent weeds and stray plants from shooting through the stones?
You will want to lay something like landscape fabric down and then add your gravel over that. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/projects/making-gravel-gardens.htm
We have this plant in our garden. Seems quite rare and good for insects but it seems to be taking over. Should we manage it and if so how. We are trying to create wildlife garden so want to avoid heavy herbicides. Thanks
