Thanks for taking the time to give me so much good advice. The listing for the plastic-coated magnets from ebay was removed, but I did find another set of 10, so ordered that.

I already have surgical tape and ace bandage, so I'll be all set when the magnets come in.

I like the photo in your signature. Is that periwinkle? We have 12 different gardens in our yard (most around trees) that we mulch every year. Last year I decided on "natural" mulch, so we planted 1000 periwinkle plants as ground cover for most of the gardens, and planted strawberries in the rest. The periwinkle isn't that thick yet, but almost all the plants have blooms on them. I'm hoping it will spread and thicken this year. In the meantime, it looks like mulch again this year.
