Azaleas in the Forest Garden

The North side of the house is typically the shadier side in the Cascadian region (PNW) where the sun travels across the southern sky in Summer.

Thus, the shadier conditions encourage forest style species such as ferns and rhododendrons, azaleas and ajuga, hydrangeas and salal. Eventually the western red cedars on either side of the forest walk will shade and frame it with proper enclosure.

This is part of a landscape design/build project in Oregon.

Herbicide opinions for under a stone flower bed barrier

We have a flowerbed that has been under siege from crabgrass for years. I just pulled our our rock barrier and dug/pulled as much as I could with more to go. I'm widening the bed a little so there will not be any intentional plantings where this edging will go. We're talking about putting in a metal barrier in ground with the rocks back in place over it. I would like to put an herbicide at that level, too. We'd bury it, since we have chickens, but have a fence that keeps the stinkers out of the bed. Other info that might be useful: high desert climate, super rocky soil (football sized rocks down to gravel), up to 100F in the summer, cold in winter down to -30F.

  1. Would you go granular or liquid?

  2. Broad spectrum or crabgrass specific?

  3. Brands you like?

Thanks in advance, Reddit!

Recommendations for Landscaping around foundation

I am looking for any recommendations on updating the landscaping around the foundation on my house. I took down 15 pine trees along the side of the property last year, which has drastically increased the amount of sun that is making it to the yard. I plan to remove the bushes that are currently planted since the area is much smaller than the bushes naturally want to grow. I am located in Zone 6a in Massachusetts. Inside the black line will be pine bark mulch and outside is grass. I haven't planned it out yet but I will fill in the areas around the bushes with perennials.
