As long as your surname is Marks, should be fine. I know landscaping takes a while to fill in, and look like it is supposed to be, so I think it's a great idea. Only negative I came up with, is a wooden post planted deeply in (damp) soil for a significant part of the year - any worries on rot?
I love natural stuff, but I am so sick and tired of wood that needs replacing - and I am in a very dry part of the world.
Cheers,
Mike
