The bottom portion of that bed had bare spots which needed to be planted and I just finished a couple of weeks ago. We have a terrific problem when we have thunderstorms that create gully washers down the driveway and carve out the soil along that bed. So...I borrowed some rocks from other areas of the gardens to create a barrier and hopefully prevent it from happening again. We haven't had enough rain yet to "test" it but keeping my fingers crossed it works!
