I've just used it on my own area, which had been Rupturewort Green Carpet, which is divine but didn't work well as I added stones because it grew over them, devoured them actually. The thymes I'd been mulling but hadn't thought of the combination, that combination, and a local nursery just happened to have a good stock on all three. I use real flagstone. It comes cheap here, but here is the mountains.

After considering real flagstone, we realized we have a lot more time than money and are looking into how to pour our own "flagstone" substitute. YOURS look so authentic! Please share how you poured the flagstone: mold? out of what? then just break off the corners? etc. Thank you so much!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190223349698989089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617408367425960304.post-25846028091291177152014-01-18T20:08:25.933-08:002014-01-18T20:08:25.933-08:00Eileen I love your patio!

The thyme has been growing for 6 years or so and I now need to trim it back because it is covering so much of the stone. I too have the weed problem and do the same... spend an afternoon getting them out and keep on top of them afterwards. I have tried a few other ground covers and the thyme is the best under foot and the smell is heavenly. The overall look is beautiful but it does require maintenance. In the end it is so worth it!Penny Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8617408367425960304.post-6517021411244750952012-03-14T08:17:33.557-07:002012-03-14T08:17:33.557-07:00Maddie,

I've got a great, skinny little spade that works perfect. Every Spring (it's almost time!) I spend a day getting the whole courtyard weeded and then for the rest of the growing season, it's something that I do periodically. I hear about plants that are "weed barriers", but I think I've got some pretty tenacious weeds! <br /><br />Good luck on your backyard!Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149276733782997431noreply@blogger.com
