Today we are going to take a homeowners exiting bullet edging and wall brick edging and rip it out. Then we will use it to reset the edging. Follow these easy steps and you can do this yourself.

WOW FANTASTIC VIDEO! I can't wait to fix all my bricks now...BUT I will wait until fall because it's 100+ degrees in my zone 7 Oklahoma garden. I LOVE all the knowledge you have and share with us! My garden has really improved this year from following you! I put in a nice mailbox garden that my neighbors love too. I also put in a shade garden in a spot I was struggle with. I have truly enjoyed watching and learning from you!
Thank you
Thank you Michelle and team; very clear instructions👏👏👏🦋
Glad it was helpful!
Yes!! An awesome instructional video, one that I’ve been waiting for, thank you Michelle and team!
This video was very needed!! I have laid edging before but according to my own rules 😂. So this video with more detail, hints and tips is soo helpful. I’m now semi excited to do my edging!!
Excellent video, Michelle! Thanks for sharing these great tips on edging.👏👍👏
Glad it was helpful!
Michelle, thank you for this video! It looks great! The lines are now clearly defined and it’s much more visually appealing.
I totally agree!
Such a great video. We are working on redoing the bed edges at our house so this is very timely. Thank you for such a clear instructional video.
You are so welcome!
Outstanding video! I’ve watched many videos on edging and this one by far does the best job of explaining the process in a clear and concise way. THANK YOU!!!
Wow, thank you!
A few simple steps to make the edging and the eye simpatico. Great advice, especially the gravel - a mistake I made long ago.
Glad it was helpful!
looks amazing, i love it. thank you for sharing.
In February we used the bullet stones to make a new bed. We're old, it started raining so we just laid them down. It looks pretty good, but my husband is not satisfied. So he will pull them up this fall when weather is cooler and use your method to get it looking better. Tanks Michelle.
Great install video Thanks!
Now I have to re-do all my edgings 😮the right way 😅😂
Glad it was helpful!
Michelle! I’m doing this exact thing in my yard. Only I didn’t use the class 5. Maybe I better do that. I’m not done so I still can do this. Thank you so much for reading my mind, your just awesome! Thank you
I just did a flower garden. First I dug out my design then I used dry quick setting concrete as a foundation kept it dry and leveled…set the bricks, leveled them…then gently sprinkled eveything…it looks amazing…also did this around the house 2 years ago and still looks perfect.
One of your best video again. Very well done. Super helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Yet again this is an amazing help. I was given some bricks a couple years ago. I cleared the little trench and placed them. Now they are all tilted and look terrible with grass growing between them. I didn’t know how to place them. I grew up in the country and had a country farm. Now I’m in the city limits with Code enforcement. Needless to say now that my garden has grown I haven’t heard from them. I’m learning to use a weed eater too!!
Excellent explanation, Michelle. I need to employ this method for my borders. Thank you for the tips.
Glad it was helpful!
It's beautiful. They
Just be happy 😊 Big huggicates 😊
I love it too, Michelle. Looks so much better.
This is fantastic. Thank you for helping us. ❤😊
Happy to help!
Great info!
Glad it was helpful!
What a difference!! ❤
Love it!! Great job!!
Thank you!!
Great learning video 👏🏻
Thanks
Unrelated, but I'm wondering if you are going to continue with the growing vegetables and herbs series. Thanks!
What started out as my good intentioned plan became very overwhelming to get out 3 videos every week. It was the main reason last year I went from a 3 day a week video schedule to 2 days a week. I should have learned from my experience..but I get so excited to try and teach and share that i bite off more than I can handle. I hope to have a few more videos on that subject, but I can not seem to manage 1 video on that weekly. I suppose it would be easier if vlogging was all I did....but alas I still have to manage so many other things.
Very Good and helpful info. Thank You !!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the precise explanation Michelle! One question, how much top soil will you need over the gravel on the side of the brick for the grass to grow properly?
2 inches
Michelle , I could use planting / care tips for coneflowers
Ok. I have a perennial video coming up at some point. I will add that one
Can you powerwash blocks, bricks to make them look cleaner?
Sure can
How do you fix a circle that already has a bunch of things in it? (Like a tall rose bush).
You still pick a center point.and come out with the tape measure, but instead of walking fhe circle with a string attached..measure out 8-12 or more points from the center. Mark each point with a paint dot and then connect the dots Make sure the center is a fixed point.
@@gardeningTLC thanks! I will have to give this a try.
Hi 👋
Why all the gravel around the house and tables. It is hard to level chair and tables on rocks. I think there are more aesthetically appealing options.
I am sure there are. I did not do that it was already there.
Don’t use bricks or stone in the edge, it’s going to cause long term maintenance issues that will always require dismantling of the edge. Edges should allow access for mowers to easily maneuver around and cut grass along edges… in gardening edges always require the most amount of maintenance if you put obstacles in your way it only increases it.
Thanks for your input. I personally do not live a world of absolutes. People use edging, whether you think they should or not...well it is really their choice. But thanks for your opinion.
Yeah, I agree you can absolutely put in the extra effort to keep it maintained, although I would set the bricks at ground level, and I stand if using something with fines I would use a 4 inch base of clean aggregate void of any organic matter. If you have an 8 inch barrier of inorganic matter then what you have done would be sufficient albeit you still have to use a string trimmer for the edge. All that being said as a gardener it is important to be absolute about an edge, minimizing maintenance, and reducing the tools necessary to maintain a yard. Otherwise you’re absolutely digging your grave.
