Default Re: Room for pups...

Is this going to be permanent or just for this season? If its for one season, about 1ft will be enough. If it's permanent, black plastic is probably not the best option, or depending on how much additional area you are covering, you could go about 4ft out and then cover the gap between the plastic and the plant with a thick layer of mulch.
