How should we apply in order and how many times a year should we apply the off complete? And the organic one should we use off first and how long should we wait to put down the organic one or vice versa? Organic first wait one week then put down pgf?
hope you got native flowers in that bed or else it'll just be a waste.
nothing is grass proof. been there done that my friend.
Hi Doc,
I’m in Boston and haven’t put anything down yet. Too late for pre emergent so what should I put down too start??
Thanks
Thank you. Very helpful and your video is not boring at all.
Can i throw mulch on top of rocks
there are to many rocks around my house to pick all of them up
i was wondering if i can just cover them with sand then throw plastic on top and then the mulch
It really breaks my heart that a gardener uses wildlife killers like Roundup. The environment needs our help.
Believe me when I tell you your stones are going to sink
Why use the plastic thing when you can only use the natural stones…
How do you kill the grass?
What’s the stones u used
I FINALLY found a video where someone alternates the bricks to avoid those triangular gaps!! It's common sense to me, glad I'm not the only one.
Do the stone move around?
💚
How do you deal wih grass growing up between the stone joints? I have not found a easy method.
I ignored your good looking subscriber rule lol and subscribed anyway!
Now the it's been a year, how did the edging hold up? It doesn't move even though it's not dug in? Looks great!
Also wondering how you finished off the edge of the lawn along the fence? Only a couple of quick shots of it, so hard to tell. We need to have ours finished off somehow.
To me a great edging would eliminate the need for trimming.
Beautiful yard. How do I know what type of grass I have ? 🤣 I am in Montana. Thanks
Haha! I was eating lasagna while watching the videos 😆😆😆.You always give us great tips. Thank you DOC 😊
The edging looks great! Could I do this without Roundup? I don't want that stuff on my property…
PgF Complete really good stuff! Doc is the man!
Don't we need base rock beneath to keep the paver leveled overtime?
They want fucking $4.99 for landscape edging blocks where I live in Canada
Cheaper to buy cement and make my own blocks I think
Thank you for this video. I'm going to do it the same way. You made it so easy to follow and do. Appreciate it
I would like to try this in front of my house but there is a slight slope on the one side. Should I make it all level or can I just follow the slope with a single layer of rock?
Edging looks good, but now I would have to run a string trimmer along the stones to cut the grass.
I thought Brick & Mortor how Hard can it be but so Time Consuming digging the Amount of Depth & doing everything else I can do I can't stand taking all that time
You could also use Ironite. That makes it super green
Beautiful property! I recently used the beige color of the stones u used for the border! Look great with triangular gaps side by side, or gaps at all 😬😬
The solar lights u used, are they spotlights & are they meant to shine on the house or the bushes?
Mighty fine lawn you got there!!! I like how its not cluttered with plants in your beds, great job!!
The only problem I have with those blocks, is the gaps between them on the grass-side starts growing grass (or weeds), and the trimmer can't really get at it due to not having a smooth edge to cut along. Do you get in there close with some roundup to prevent that?
It is available for laying 2 layers of bricks?
Looks good, I am just wondering if the grass will grow through the edge of the bricks?
Thanks Doc! This is very helpful. We just moved to Texas from Washington state and have Bermuda which I'm not familiar with so your lawn guide & videos have been a blessing! Looking forward to getting our lawn some nutrients. I will try this edging technique as well 🙂
Nice, but as a retired LS pro who has done 100s of these, recommend save time and your feet -rent a power bed edger for larger projects
Can you please link those particular paverstones? I can't find them anywhere…
Looks really nice and great idea. I appreciate the video!! I liked everything except the RoundUp poison, I would use something like Bonide DeadWeed Brew, or you could also use D-Limonene based products to kill vegetation too, works really well👍🏻 … thank you!
My dandelions are doing great this year!
The yard looks great!! And nothin like lasagna for a lunch break!
May 2022, these edging blocks are now $2.48 each. 😩
Shoot I was about to subscribe until you said you have to be good looking 😝
Wow!
You've done a great job on this house Doc!
Is it too late to apply this PGF complete? I live in N Ohio.
Look great! But that makes mowing harder.
What part of the country do you live?
Thanks for sharing, handsome! Looking good.
Roundup?!?! What is this, 1966? That stuff causes cancer, contaminates your soil, and kills beneficial insects and animals in your yard. It's now banned in many cities. When will people learn about using chemicals…
