I have 3 dogs and half of my back yard is UGLY. The other half is my veggie garden and a grassy area with a stream and pond. This area is fenced off from the dogs to keep it nice. The other half (closest to the house) looks like high mountain desert: rocks, clay and weeds. I just can't bring myself to lock my dogs up in anything smaller. Any kind of paving would be too hot in the summer; planting trees back to shade it would get in the way when we drive our loads of firewood back to the shed. Lumber and fake turf are just too expensive. Is there any kind of ground cover that could hold up to 3 dogs and what they leave behind? Would any of you gals have some other idea? I've been wracking my brain over this dilemma for 2 years now. This half of my back yard is an embarrassment. Help!

We come from Nature, we go back to Nature; health & happiness in between requires intimacy with Nature.
