Husband Kurt finished today what we had half-heartedly started together last August. He scalped this large strip with the electric weedeater then soaked it with the hose and stomped sections of newspaper (at least 10 pages thick) into it. Last, he covered it all with weed fabric and piled hardwood mulch on top of that.
What has been a bunch of bermuda grass with some nutgrass and crazy-ivy will soon be dead and replaced. The Turk's Cap peeking through the fence will stay and that big cottonwood stump continues to rot away. It will take a few months, so we've got time to think of what to put there--something low-maintenance and low-water. Maybe just a bunch of rosemary and lavender... We're open to suggestions.

Hope you didn't use any papers with my stories in 'em to kill those weeds. :)

But of course not, Steven! We carefully went through two three-foot tall stacks of the Statesman and NY Times and neatly clipped out every article you've written in the past six months. :)
And hung them up on your refrigerator?
