5 EASY steps and all new garden!!

It's spring the right time for blossoming flowers in your garden. Here are the steps to building a new bed or border from scratch.

Step 1: Mark it Out
Make your new garden the best it can be. Give it a fun shape with flowing curves or use it to echo the lines of your house. Get it just right by laying out a hose to outline your bed. Once you have the perfect shape, mark the edges with a line of sand or flour.

Step 2: Get Rid of the Grass
If you have grass growing in your new garden spot, dig it up with a spade or sod cutter. Or, if you have time to wait, mow that area as low as you can, then cover it with a several-sheet-thick layer of newspaper and several inches of soil or compost. Wait a couple of months for the grass to die.
