Thank you for all your advice. The crevise thing is interesting, but I like the rocks better, and rocks are what I have in abundance. I do have broken pavers I plan to use here and there for interest.
I'm planning on planting perennial bulbs in the circle. I need to divide/seperate my irises and that's where I'm putting them.
Have questions ... want to look more closely at your feedback. I do need advice on soil. In research I see sand mentioned as part of the mix. What kind? Is that something I can buy in bags, like potting soil? What do you use?
p.s. in general, what are your thoughts about my gravel/plastic situation? I will remove as much plastic as I can, but some will remain. As I said, it's buried so deep I'm hoping it won't impede anything. I was thinking to put flat rocks over the plastic and under the gravel. I think the drainage will still be okay. Or is that a bad idea?
