Bed Edge Boost

Brick edge in garden

I weeded a lot this summer and that means I had a lot of thinking time. Time to think about how the type of bed edge determined how much time I spent weeding that particular area. No time for a scientific study, but I can tell you that my perennial border that lines our front sidewalk is a lot easier to maintain, then the beds we have adjacent to lawn spaces. I also greatly miss the brick-lined beds at our previous house.  Eventually we'll line the ones we have, but until then I'll just pick one...grass...blade...at...a... time...out of my lovely planting beds.
