Current Project: Making a flower bed where there isn't one now. Measuring off Digging in Ripping up Shaking out Flying worms Aching lower back Dreamingof summerflowers growninfullsun!!!
Hey! I just learned from Martha Stewart that you can create beds over grass by putting a couple layers of newspaper down and then put topsoil on top of it. Then you can just plant your flowers over the grass and it'll eventually compost underneath! But of course if you wanted to plant things deeper, ripping out the grass is essential :)
