Getting Rid Of Unwanted Plants

Although most plants generally thrive within a single dedicated pot, they will sometimes migrate to other spots. There are commercially purchased shrubs that will be replanted, as well as your own general garden restructuring. Uprooting plants often harms the actual roots and wrecks shrubs. You can actually tunnel out the plant without hurting it by slicing into the pot with a long knife. Replanting can then easily take place. Just make sure that you do this process carefully and do not accidentally slice the plant’s roots in the process.

Edging Perfection

Edging a garden is often hampered by getting that straight line down when outlining a zone. Thankfully, this can be easily remedied by placing a 2×6 plank marking the boundaries of your garden. The plank must be as straight as possible and held down with a heavy object. Use a spade and insert it into the earth where the plank finishes. Shift the spade through the plank line all the way to its conclusion. Keep this up all the way throughout the garden, shifting the plank when necessary. Upon finishing, marvel at your perfect circumference!
