    It's so satisfying watching somebody meticulously dig up turf. On the other hand, what a horrible job it actually is haha. Stupidly, I dug up 24m2 of lawn this year during a really dry spell. What an effort!

    From 40 years experience, I would say the most important factors to consider are choosing the absolute best plants for the space, making sure they are sun and heat tolerant if exposed to afternoon sun, and the spacing plants. Make sure the plants don't crowd themselves after reaching the desired size.

    On one spot in my yard I accidentally spilled a lot of fertilizer so the grass died. About 2 weeks after I decided I wanted to make a new flower bed. Took the grass from that area and put it on my bald spot. It has almost bounced back. Love how your flower bed turned out.

    I cut long sections and roll them onto a tarp. As I roll I can easily scrape off as much loose soil as possible. Then I just drag the tarp to a suitable dump site. It saves a lot of energy.

  • @richardportelli1983

    Another method is to flip the grass and let it compost in place and mulch over the top.

    • @orthodoc22
      @orthodoc22 5 лет назад +2

      Richard Portelli also can roundup the grass then cover with mulch after it dies off. Saves the labor and adds nutrients to the soil.

    If you plant original container the plant came in into the ground 1st, move it around a little bit, backfill the container while in the ground the plant goes in much quicker and straighter faster.

    River birch are the bane of my existence. We bought our house a few years ago and unfortunately inherited 3 giant ones. They drop an insane amount of branches year round. Their roots are very invasive and they destroy driveways and lawns. Do yourself a favor and pull it out while you can and plant something else. I’m telling you, in 5 years you’ll remember this comment when you’re in your back yard cursing that thing. Mine are in huge beds and the roots have gone way past the beds. My dad had one in his backyard that he just cut down because it destroyed his yard.
