  • I have learned a lot this year about the best ways of creating new flowerbeds, and I figured it would be helpful for all of you to show my process! There's a lot of mistakes that I have made, or decisions I have made they've created more maintenance for other beds, so I wanted to show how to prevent making the same mistakes.

    Great video! Concise yet it hits all the key points. I especially like when folks explain *why* they make a certain suggestion, so thanks for that!

    There is nothing worse than removing sod…but also nothing more satisfying once it’s done. ❤❤❤

      Nah rock is definitely worse. Removing sod requires the right tool and technique.

      Get an electric edger for sod cutting, cut into squares. Cheap and easy.

    Awesome job in properly planting a tree!! Hole 2-3 times width of pot, amend the soil as needed, plant it high and make a water well!! Mulch and water thoroughly!! 👍😃

    You have some good soil. I always feel like im digging through concrete on my yard lol..just dry hard clay

    • @JoshuasGarden
      @JoshuasGarden  Год назад +1

      That’s really tough to deal with, the worst thing I deal with is a lot of rocks, and some that can be a decent size

      Here in the south, we have a lot of the clay soil and the Bermuda and crab grass that over takes everything. I spent “hours” to create a small (rather tiny) corner bed due to this. Basically had to “chip away” at the clay. It sounded like I was hitting concrete at times. 😩 I did it in that high humidity and hot summer weather too! 🤣 Life in the southeast.

      Try wood chips. It takes a couple of seasons but it drains well

      @@JoshuasGarden It was also a great tutorial on how to create a flower bed, but I was even more impressed by your directions on how to plant a tree correctly, because I see so many gardeners online doing it wrong or teaching it wrong, and you did everything right with the most thorough explanations as to how and why! So that's why I said that, ha!

    Great video. I just have a question, do you not have to spray the grass section first before you remove it so as to kill the roots? Will it not grow back?

    Will grass regrow from grass roots that remain in the soil?

  • @MickF04

    The Bermuda grass in our backyard wouldn't take to your concept very well. If the rhizomes aren't completely removed or killed, the Bermuda will come back. Everywhere. Along with "soil" that is mainly limestone, those are the main reasons why our 70'x32' Bermuda lawn in the backyard remains (thanks, house builder!). Sadly.

      You don't need it if you don't mind picking weeds up every 3 months.

    • @dagoram
      @dagoram 3 месяца назад +3

      There is no added benefit to fabric going under any other ground cover and is not needed if you are planning to cover the soil already with mulch, wood chips,rocks etc.

    Is it better to remove the sod or to plant over the grass and kill it off with cardboard?

    • @GregLohr
      @GregLohr 28 дней назад

      The cardboard or "lasagna" method works, but it can take months for all the material to break down. So it depends on your timeline.

    Also your ruining the bottom of your neighbors fence. Your planting too close to it .
