Ping Janet Baraclough: mulching lawn to make beds
Janet,
You mentioned in a thread on using grass cuttings that you create your flower beds simply by putting mulch directly onto grass lawn, rather than going to all the trouble of digging it up. I'm trying the same. When the grass is all dead, and the flower bed is established and working as it should, presumably it is several inches higher than the grass it was created from (ATM my mulch is about 4 inches higher than the adjacent lawn, but I only put it down last week). The lawns I'm familiar with are either higher than the adjacent beds or have a micro ha-ha around their edge which is laboriously maintained using a half-moon lawn-edger. What do you do around the edges to stop the mulch etc. migrating onto the grass? -- Chris E-mail: christopher[dot]hogg[at]virgin[dot]net |
