The mulch is on a small section of lawn between the mobile home and parking area. I had described earlier that I’ve put a double layer of cardboard and Intended to cover that with the tree clipping /shred but couldn’t find any so just using brown mulch atop the cardboard.
Along the parking areas I have smaller planters with some herbs but primarily mixed flowers that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. In smaller containers I have sunflowers . Have four banana trees planted . Small divisions from friends yard. The containers dry out quickly as you said for the bin
The little planters aren’t especially attractive hoping when I finish all will be improved. I’ll take a couple pix where you can see cardboard still not covered
Ideally the grass would have been removed to do it properly. Too much labor involved in that for me even though it’s a small area
Oh that sounds like a lot of work. I remember you mentioning the cardboard now.
I have a couple of sunflowers, along with some other flowers, in the middle of the raised bin. They’ll call the bees in when their pollinating services are required lol.
The containers sound very nice - I am amazed at how fast they have grown.
