Well, that is a complicated question. Which garden are you speaking of? Perhaps this unruly, overgrown example of what NOT to do when landscaping?

Well, Allen has been spending the summer -- the entire summer -- in an effort to remedy the situation. He has a deep tan which he has never had being a redhead and all and I think he has permanently injured his right elbow digging up stumps and pulling out roots. No, I haven't helped him. My job is to just get out of the way and make iced tea.
So, after many weeks of grueling labor and almost 100 lawn clipping bags put out for pickup this is the end result~

bags of clippings all gone |

Vast improvement, don't you think?
