Smart Deb

I haven’t dug up a garden bed in years.

I also just lay down card board mostly in the Fall where I want a bed then the grass and weed are dead in the Spring

But for my potato bed 2 weeks ago I did just as you

If I do dig up sod, I pile it where I want another bed. But I pile it grass down. Then I have nice soil ready for compost and manure mix in the Spring and ll the grass is dead

I never throw away sod either, if I have no use for it at the time, it goes in the compost

I’m learning! The first flowerbeds i dug.. oh my…. dig, dig, dig… toss, toss, toss.. what a time I had. Then I thought that I could just flip the sod over and use it as a border… and then I thought that I’d just flip it over on top of other sod and make the bed kind of rounded… and now, thanks to GT, I lay down the newspaper/cardboard and cross my fingers.

I’m with you MsDeb … never plan on digging another bed thanks to GT!!!! :-)

Your veggie garden sounds yummie and seemed relatively easy to do.

Like the way you think!!!:-)
I put small rocks to wedge my logs: hubby did put small posts but I found it detracted from the “looks”!!

I just used up my supply of rocks so I’ll have to get thinking of a backup idea.

You can even use pebbles. It will not be long before the logs do settle in and the pebbles are just so they do not roll away: pebbles is what I used in the driveway bed!!
