Message: [QUOTE="Dog Rose, post: 78760, member: 3237"] We're trying to salvage a bed that has gone completely to weeds. It is completely overgrown, and when we cleared it we found tree roots close to the surface that make digging down impossible. Since it is in a hollow, with a rise in the ground by it, we were wondering about putting in a rock garden, but we're a little concerned about the weeds and ivy overgrowing whatever we put there. Do you have any advice on building a rock garden from scratch and preventing it getting overrun? Obviously, we'd want it to be stable, since people and pets always climb on these things, but otherwise we're not sure what to put there. There's a large tree near it, but the roots have grown downwards from the bed so it shouldn't be too disruptive to the rocks. [/QUOTE]
