11. Permanent plantings for low maintenance
Permanent planting cuts down on work whereas seasonal bedding plants demand cultivation and care for much of the year.
Permanent planting schemes win hands down, saving on work because each plant gradually spreads to hide the soil and suppress the weeds. Until this happens, a thick mulching layer of coarse bark, cocoa shells or gravel will prevent weed seeds in the soil from germinating, and make it easy for you to pull up seedlings.
