Bed Edging

Once a year gardeners need to redefine the edges of the plant borders. Adding mulch is a good idea, but the area will look much better and be easier to manage throughout the summer if they re edge. Take a flat blade shovel and trench out about 2 3 inches deep and 5 6 inches wide all around the beds. Re mulch, letting the trench be the border. This fresh, crisp line will accentuate the grass and the bed. Professional landscape managers do this routinely. Available now are several power trench masters that do an excellent job.
