My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Mulching for full sun

21 years ago

I've heard that clematis like cold feet, and my bed is located in full sun. Is there a good way for me to mulch these guys with something that will keep the roots nice and cool?

Thanks!
