Good days and bad days, but I am following the Dr. directions. He said I am a mystery with regards to my blood condition, but at least he didn’t come back at me with some awful disease, so I am very thankful and a contrite little patient.

The weed blocker I tried was actually paper, organic bio-degradable, brown paper. It’s on a roll that says “weed fabric”, which I find odd. 3ft. wide, total of 75 sq ft. $10. at Lowes, made by Greenscapes.

I cut it to the size and shapes I needed, then laid it down. It helped to have some damp pine shavings or clean sawdust - I put that along the edges to hold the paper in place, then wet it. Then I put sawdust/shavings up the center too where I had the wider spaces between my double rows. The paper will tear easily (when walked on) if the ground beneath isn’t fairly smooth and free of rocks. Especially when wet. That’s why I used the shavings and sawdust on the center - I can walk on it and it prevents the paper from tearing. Not a single weed has grown where I have it.

Sorry if I am rambling - still getting used to meds. Ugh.

Whew, $10 is much better. I’ll have to check into it.
