I installed plastic edging 20yrs ago, and it's still in great shape and works great for me. Running my mower and my weedeater with my barrier is so quick and easy. I'm in North Texas with high heat and plenty of water via my sprinklers grass grows fast. With your method I would be fighting the grass creeping in. And with my weedeater I'd be tossing the mulch chips out. For model homes around here, I noticed they are doing the gardens like you. They look great when a team is visiting the beds weekly. I think I will always desire a plastic or metal or concrete barrier for easier maintenance in this area, but if I ever moved back to NY I might give your method a try! Great video!

Stress sounds like a bad word to me I was a manager in a produce department, and I would tell my guys it's important to have a "Sense of urgency" I completely understand what you guys are talking about. However, if i had a deadline for anything I would not think me stressing would help one bit, but I would benefit from a sense of urgency and doing my best under pressure. If that makes sense. I'll be stressed when I have a life changing event happen, not at work or in the garden.

Great video and advice to stay in the game even when things get tough. I have noticed that as kids when we are trying to master a new "thing" we generally don't get frustrated because we are having fun in the process....then we grow up and think we should be able to master things the first time we try it. Having fun while you are doing it (other friends, family, music etc.) and perseverance. I also notice that when I get too frustrated, I take a break and come back hours or days later depending on the situation and I in a better frame of mind, but also there is a muscle memory that developed during that time which seems to make it easier the second time around. My parents taught us to always leave things as good or better than we found them and that is something I try to carry throughout life whether with interactions with grass or people. Thanks for the positive vibes!

Started doing mulching work with zero preparation, just a few indications here and there. The most tedious and excruciating part is laying the fabric on beds with plenty of plants. My back, my knees, and my hands hurt badly after 10 hours working under pressure and really understaffed to complete 10 beds in 2 days with one helper. It turns incredibly frustrating when I find even more obstacles, like old fabric that's difficult to get rid of, when we're not given the right tools (a pitchfork is a game changer to collect mulch in a wheelbarrow), or I find roots and rocks under the bed and putting the pins through the fabric becomes painful! But your words of encouragement helped so much with this job. I'm a hard-working person, but sometimes it's too much. I will remember your words and say, "Good" every time I encounter these challenges. Thank you so much for the video. Using a trash bin with wheels to carry every bag full of old mulch will help make the disposal way less heavy. I'm grateful. 🙏

Looks can be deceiving! That is one of the things I hate about those plastic boarders, the mulch always seems to spill out into the lawn. And when you are reel mowing, that causes a big issue. The live edge keeps everything contained and actually trim less because you can mow right to the edge. I understand It may not be for everyone though. I appreciate your view and the comment.

Nice vid. Thank you. And I would add, plant positive seeds, always put out good vibes and keep an attitude of gratitude. I try to do this everyday, though I don’t always succeed. I just try harder. If you fall down, get up! Good! ❤

Well said, Joy. It doesn't matter what side you are on regarding anything in life, (i.e., faith, politics, or ethnicity) treat another human being with respect - if you do that, you are probably going to have a pretty GOOD life. Thank you for the view and support.

The raised garden edge does look funny lol. What I do is similar to this. I still use the plastic edging but I dig the trench deep enough so that the height of the plastic is flush with the desired grass height or just above soil level. This way it’s not visible unless you’re really up close and looking for it. It also allows me to keep a clean edge especially with the st Augustine.

I agree. Whoever originally installed the landscaping boarders at my property didn’t know what they were doing. Your way would have made it look a bit better. Thanks for the view and comment, Lance.

Awesome video thanks, that answers a lot of my questions. I don't really want to spend hundreds on the garden bed I built last month, it's cost over $1000 already between soil, mulch, and plants. I bought a nice half moon edging tool (came with a lifetime warranty, oooh😅) I'll have to look for one of those square shovels. Looks like Walmart has them less than $20

Subscribed! I love gardening. It is very satisfying to see the hard work and basically garden art 😊 Great video, excellent job and really great advice. I had to have several surgeries so this is the first year in a few years that I am finally getting to garden again. Your ‘after’ of the edging looks so good! I have never been a fan of edge plastic or whatever unnatural material. I have many different flower beds and most have live edging and we’re working on cleaning them up. A few have natural stones but I debate on only using the stones along our walkway. Great job! Great tips! 😊

I do the professional beds, but then I use the plastic borders down inside the crease. It looks exactly the same as a professional does it, but it needs less upkeep. It stays that way. Looks totally fine. You almost can’t see the border.
