Instructions:
- Note how fuzzy the flower bed edges are? Let's sharpen them back up!
- Using a half moon edger on a slight angle, cut along the flower bed edges.
- Cut up any turf chunks and tap off the soil. Turn upside down in compost.
- Using garden shears or weed trimmer, trim the grass along the edge of the flowerbed both horizontally and vertically to create the sharpest edge possible. Do not trim on an angle as this will soften the edge.
- Remove the grass clippings by hand.
- Dig a trench against the cut edges, then mound up the soil by pushing it up and towards the flowerbed. Smooth over with hand.
- Fluff up the soil while removing any weeds.
- Upkeep the edges by doing all of the above steps (except for cutting with the half moon edger) after each lawn mow to ensure they look their sharpest!
- Recut all the edges each spring (and fall if needed) to keep them looking their best!
