I like the weed wacker idea :o) I think we're going to do that and then GULP douse the area with roundup. The problem here is we get the stinging nettle weeds that seem to grow 4 ft tall in a week. and then after they are torn out we get those weeds with the tiny hard 'poinker balls' that get stuck in my puppy's paws.
Someone on DG told me if you get rid of the roots (roundup) and then put corn glucose down, the seeds wont sprout again. I've yet to try that, but seems it might be worth a go.
I'm now back on the laptop, but I did put a pix of the Arbor on my Wood Craft cubit last night. There werent any good pictures of the pond or front yard on the main computer so I'll have to browse through that hard drive and find all those LOL!
Dana, If I can get on the main computer, I'll go post that pix on your thread
