Defining clean and precise edges between your garden beds and lawn enhances the overall appearance of your landscape. A simple way to achieve this is by using a sturdy wooden board, such as a 2×6. Place the board along the area where you want the edge, then press it down with your foot to keep it steady. Use a spade to cut along the board’s edge in a consistent direction. As you work, reposition the board as needed to maintain a straight and even boundary.

The Micro Greenhouse

If starting seeds or cuttings feels tricky, consider using a simple micro greenhouse technique. Repurpose 2-liter soda bottles by cutting off the bottom and peeling away any labels. Each cut bottle acts as a miniature greenhouse when placed over an individual seed or cutting. This setup helps retain moisture and warmth, promoting healthy growth. Once the seedlings have sprouted or the cuttings have rooted properly, you can remove the bottles and transplant them as needed.
