This is the thing, I didn't know how to do beds when I had money for plants. So I bought and planted plants thinking I would make beds around them later. One pic is the bed I dug out with a shovel. The plants were already there. That was seriously so hard and time consuming. I'm desperate to try the newspaper thing to avoid digging out three fence lines worth more of beds. The other pics show my plants along the fences where I want to make beds like I did in the pic showing a bed. Just nervous to put newspaper around all these plants with which I have fallen in love. Excuse the need to mow! But as you can see they are surrounded by lots of hardy grass!
