Discover The No Dig Gardening Method In Two Stunning New Gardens! 

Thank you so much for watching today! I appreciate you so much! I hope today's video inspired you!❤

I put in 4 flower beds last year using cardboard. What I did was I planted all my plants in the ground first, then I cut the cardboard around the plants and topped the cardboard with mulch. I'm a widow living on Social Security so I was trying to do it the most cost effective way so I didn't need to put soil down. So far it looks like all my perennials are coming back this year. Your flower beds look beautiful..💚

The no dig garden!! Immediately starts digging lol

Don't know your zone but when I lived in zone 6 I planted a border of Liriope. Worst mistake I ever made! It sent out suckers even underneath sidewalk. After 2 years of attempting to control that issue i gave up. Removed every bit and went with stacked rock border and planted annuals every spring. Each spring I switched plants to avoid boredom. Lol. Good luck with your endeavours. BTW a word from this gardener: never overplant perennials. Allow for mature growth as posted on can label. Those annual Sunpatiens are way too close. Instant planting to appear full is costly and wasteful. Overcrowding young plants results in spindly growth sacrificing the mounding habit. Not criticizing your first efforts; just offering bit of advice from this well-seasoned gardener of 50+ years.

FINALLY! Someone who uses the term “monkey grass!” Folks have been frowning at me for years.

I watched this video because I couldn’t figure out how you were gonna get those annuals in the ground without digging. But I get it now. Sometimes I think I buried my brain in a hole. My RU-vid channel (if I had one) would be called Downhill After 50. No, Downhill with No Brakes. Your entire yard is lovely - neat, tidy, colorful and verdant. Thanks for sharing! Great teamwork!

You do you! Rather it’s a garden, garden bed, flower bed, monkey grass and how ever many you plant or whatever type of grass you got growing in your yard. You do you! Thanks for sharing. It’s going to look beautiful!

Love it! You have inspired me to make corner beds. People who are saying "too close," they are just plants. They can always be moved. The liriope will do its job and make new plants, which can be divided in a few years and moved to another bed.

I appreciate all the hard work you and your husband did to make this video. You both did a great job. Please keep making videos. It nice to see someone like me wholeheartedly enjoying what you do. Thank you

Great job Anna! Beautiful garden with beautiful lady, diy no dig garden! I’ve learned something today! 🌹🇺🇸👍🤩

I too did a no dig garden on the side of my home next to my driveway. I used cardboard and planted fire chief arborvitae bushes, small specimen weeping norfolk pine, some mondo grass and some perennials. Soaked the cardboard then covered it all with 3 to 4 inches of mulch. It's going in the 3rd year and has worked out beautifully.

I like how well you and your hubby work together. I like the design that you came up with.

Wow! So pretty! Love your knee holder also!

I think this is a good idea but, you may want to consider using landscape fabric as well. Over a period of time, the cardboard is going to decompose and you will have grass in your beds. Another thing to consider is what type of grass you have in your lawn. If you have Bermuda grass, it reproduces by fragmentation of rhizomes and runners. This is why you would need landscape fabric doubled up. I think this is important too know if you have creeping grass such as Kentucky Blue grass, Bermuda, Creeping Red Fescue etc.

Greeting's from Ireland, My wife has no interest in gardening but tells me that our small front garden looks like a mini garden centre and I wouldn't blame her. At the moment there are fifty two pots of perennial's, six pot's of annual's on the windowsill's and four flower bed's. There is a glasshouse out in the back and a no dig veg garden. I'm thinking of creating no dig flower bed's out the back in autumn. I plan to split plants that have been in pots for a number of year's and plant them in the new bed's. I make my own compost in the three bay system and should have enough for both the veg and flower's.

Do like a 45 degree on the inside edge so your mulch will stay in better. Outside edge straight down

I love the no dig garden. I'd get some no dig edge for them and add a little rope solar light to add something to show them off at night. I just used a hot tip of my soldering irion, put holes in the edging and then zip tied the rope lights to the top. I measured and installed before placing in the bed..

That was a fun little project! It turned out great babe!!😘😘😊😊🥰🥰

Looks great!!! Thanks for sharing how to do a no dig garden!!!😊

👍🏾 That was a lot of planting. You made it look easy. I would like to see it with the srubs blooming.

Posthole diggers are life safers for digging holes when planting.

Maybe a brick or stone trim around the dirt and the sidewalk/driveway Should also help keep kids and dogs off the garden bed

Absolutely lovely🥰🥰🥰

Very nice. I need Ernie and 2 new knees. lol

Beautiful! My first time sucked as it rained real hard days after. This made the area a swamp as the water didn't go through the cardboard and the mulch wasn't as deep as yours. I now poke holes in the cardboard to let the water get through. Also, digging a deep trench that slopes helps keep the mulch from spilling all over the edges. Just a part of learning.

In my country, we like privacy around our house. So you will not see at most houses big open lawns as you Americans has. 😊. We have tall green trees fences of any kind. Tall bushes or even a wood fence. 🇩🇰

Beautiful work

You two work beautifully together. I love watching you create beauty.

Love the corner beds. This will be stunning when it blooms. Its stunning now so imagine when it blooms. Your home will stand out like it should. Beautiful as always.

Look Beautiful!😊

Beautiful! Yes, I’m inspired, thank you.

Awesome! Never heard of NO Dig gardening.

Awesome!!! Cant wait to see it all bloomed. It will be Beautiful!!

Lovely

You need mulch on top. It’s best to. Unveiled the bed so your lawnmower can curve a round easily. Also add some cow manure to your soil as you lay the dirt. .

It is beautiful Anna. I can't wait to see it when everything blooms.

The garden bed’s turned out beautiful can’t wait to see them bloom specially the grasses with the purple flowers 💜

Anna, the corner beds look amazing! So lovely!!! Can’t wait to see when it blooms!!!!

Beautiful

Such a great idea Anna I love the flowers you chose 💕

Love the new gardens, can’t wait until the flowers are in full bloom!

Thank you for sharing Anna. and Ernie. There's nothing like reclaiming a space of barren lawn. I just learned about sheet mulching and no dig a few years ago, and what a relief: less work in the long run, easier care, better for the environment, seasonal beauty that supports local wildlife... I look forward to reports of your new beds ' growth!

Beautiful 😊❤

Hey Friend, Happy Friday. I’m always enjoying all of your gardening and outdoors videos, you have such a green thumb that I wish I had. 😢❤ I agree there’s always room for plants and flowers in your garden so it’s better to have more than you think you need than not enough. ❤🥰🦋
