Gardening Dilemmas
Have a lake next to ranch style rock home. On the bank of the lake we are continuously mowing on a steep embankment. I would like to mass plant Mexican Oleanders. However, fear we would be fighting volunteer grass and large weeds. Should we be concerned with disease on Oleanders and how do we keep grass and weeds out of this project. I don't want to spend huge amount of money on controlling the weeds/grass. And if I plant Oleanders should I be concerned with disease. What is spacing? -
