Create a New Flowerbed Without Digging

I live where it's really hard to dig in the earth. LOTS of rocks. So I love this idea.

Step 1: Outline Garden Bed

Removing the top layer of sod speeds up the process so you could be planting a little sooner, but it's not necessary. You can just start adding your layers right on top of the grass.

Step 2: Build Your Layers

Newspaper, compost, topsoil

Step 3: Edge Bed

Add landscape edging around the bed's perimeter to help keep turf grass from invading. Or, if you wish, you can use more decorative materials such as bricks, stones, or landscape timbers
