Herbaceous plants do well in a minimum 18" of good rich soil. The more you
can do/afford to get the ground right the better your border will be in the
long run before you start planting. A good foundation will prove itself and
save time. Weeding becomes a problem with new planting of such borders but
stick with it the results will speak volumes - good kuck.

I want to dig up a small lawn and replace it with a a herbaceous border
and a
patch for annuals. Should I just turn the sods over and dig them in or
should I
remove them ??

Thanks - Geoff
