HOW do you edge a flower bed without an edger?
Scissors? Hoe? Actually, in the 1940s my grandmother cut all the grass in the teeny little plot of yard in from of her home with scissors!
Reply:you have a weed whip dont you? turn it on its side, you will go threw some line but it works. if it is really bad you could use a flat shovel the first time then keep it neat with your whip.
Reply:I use a hand saw to do mine.
Reply:you can use a spay and dig a trench not real big it will look nice make sure you get all the weeds out and the roots lay plastic and mulch it will be fine
Reply:you can do it by hand with a good serrated knife and some garden cutter.. wear good garden gloves..you'll be working on your knees so make sure you wear knee pad or place some kind of cushion. of course it will be time consuming depending how big is your flower bed but the results will be just as beautiful and priceless!


hope you will turn this experience into great therapy!
