tamara Member Joined: Jun 2003 NB Canada	I have a foundation bed in the front of my house about 34 ft long and and about 2 and 1/2 ft wide. I am also facing North east :rolleyes: . My question is: Does a garden bed look better when it is so full that you can't see the mulch or something in between?

Even my wildflower bed, I reseed each spring to keep it almost over full.
