With plants from either company, treat them as you would any other
perennial. Many can be divided before planting with a sharp knife.
Water well after planting and until they are established.As
for spacing, the Stepables Web site has a handy plant calculator. You
put in the size of the garden and the spacing you want to use between
plants, before your eyes appear the square footage of your garden and
the recommended number of plants. If you need to add top soil before
planting, it'll figure that for you too. Now there's nothing hard about getting rid of those bare paths in the yard. Nancy
