    I'm so glad you are promoting the no-dig garden and especially that the old grass feeds the new plantings and that the worms will rototill the soil. When soil is churned it excites latent seeds and they start to sprout causing so much more work!
    Lately, I've been thinking a lot about little things that gardeners can do to lessen the load, the bending down, or the need to be on the knees (I cannot kneel any more).

    I have used the No Dig method in all of my new beds in Texas. It really works but I have two suggestions to prevent grass from creeping in. Before you begin use a line trimmer and scalp the grass as short as possible. I found it necessary to use a minimum of 4 to 5 inches of mulch and when completed edge the bed with a barrier like stone or metal edging. Most lawns here are San Augustine and the runners are aggressive. My soil is heavy clay so I also used a lot of amendments. There is absolutely no reason to remove grass when it will add valuable nutrients to the soil. Love your house and garden.♥️♥️♥️

As you had taught in a previous video, heat speeds up the no dig method. I’m starting that tomorrow. I’m so excited. I really love what you’re doing in the front and can’t wait to see it all fill in. 👏🏻👏🏻💕

    This will be really pretty in bloom! Glad you didn't take out the two cypresses. They soften all of the house angles & the "squares" of the window panes. Plus, they mimic the curve of the two dormers. It looks like they are intentionally part of the design. However, if you cover the dormers in the picture with your thumbs, the cypresses seem out of place. BTW, you are the best-dressed gardener I've ever seen planting flowers! ;D

    Your formal front yard fits with the house, and it looks both impressive and inviting.
    We made no dig flower borders just like that - even planted a Magnolia in one bed, using the same technique.
    It works great! And within a year, the micro life has turned all the layers into great soil.

    Such a great way to create new flowerbeds!
    And what a back-saver it is!
    I've taken your tip, with the white rope, and now, it's become my best design tool!
    .
    The only difference from how you do it here, is that my step nr 2 is, I dig a narrow, v-shaped trench along the rope, to edge the bed. And that's the only digging required!
    .
    I then, like you said, use a thicker layer of newspaper, that I water down to lay slick on top of the grass. A good layer of mulch on top of that, and the bed looks great already!

    • @MartinaSchoppe
      @MartinaSchoppe 4 роки тому +7

      that happens to me, too, when I used not enough mulching material. I think, that the things "on top" of the grass need to be thick enough and also heavy enough, so that the grass can not start to go sideways. Anyway, in places, where that happens, I pull the "topping" to the side a bit and remove the grass, then put the mulch back and also ad more of if possible.

    • @patfondren6013
      @patfondren6013 4 роки тому +1

      This is a landscape designer's idea of gardening but in reality, it does not work in warm areas of the country. It would be fertile ground for grass: It would say "come on in. Make yourself at home." By digging a trench of about 2-3 inches deep x 2-3 inches wide prevents grass from getting into the beds quickly and then it is easy to edge and keep it out.

      I start by digging a small trench, to edge the new bed. Then wet newspaper, and a good layer of mulch.
      It looks good instantly, and edges are fairly easy to maintain.

      I wondered the same thing. I have beautiful areas of pachysandra and vinca in my cottage garden but in zone 7, it takes a lot of effort to keep them under control and in their place. Once a year won’t cut it. And if I miss just once because I’m too busy or traveling, it instantly tries to take over. Again, I live it where it’s useful, but when it encroaches on other perennials and shrubs it takes over, both in appearance & literally.

      Wildflower wind I’ve used this method quite successfully to recover flower beds which have become too weedy, newspaper works but you have to have a lot of layers. If I can find cardboard I’ll use that too, takes longer to breakdown but works even better at suppressing weeds and grass. Agree, the edges can be a bit challenging but easier to clean up an edge than remove all of the sod.
