Hi palminnie, do people really like teasels? We are over run with them and spend our time pulling them out. I know people dry them and spray them gold for flower arranging but they drive me mad. If anyone out there is into them they are welcome to come take a big heap of them. Ground cover is great as I couldn't keep up with all the weeding. We used to buy those rolls of black stuff in woodies but now we use whatever we have--old sheets, curtains, carpet etc. Once the rain can go through but not the weeds it doesn't matter what colour it is as it is going to be covered with bark chippings.
One creeper plant that has been really good and easy to grow is a thing called Ajube (I think) it spreads like strawberry plants with little runners so you can cut off new ones once they are established.It has lovely tall purple flowers, kind of spiky, by tall I mean maybe 6inches, but tall for the size of the plant. Eibh.
