Garden Curves the Easy Way!

Hello everyone. With gardening now in full swing many people like myself have decided to make a new flower bed. I wanted a bed that had soft flowing curves to it. To mark off my bed and get an idea of how big it would be I used several garden hoses stretched out in the shape I wanted my bed to be. After deciding the shape was what I wanted, I took some sand and ran it beside the hose to leave a line after I moved the hose. Next I took a shovel and dug along side of the sand line to make a more permanent border. After that it was easy to roundup the area I did not want grass in and remove the grass and break up the the soil. A tip on the roundup is to use a brush and paint it on areas where you are afraid of over spray! This helps become very selective and keeps the spray off of tender growth of bushes that may be near by. Have fun with you new curved flower beds!!!
