10 Useful and Unique Garden Border Edging Ideas
I love my garden but didn’t want garden borders like everyone else so I made this list of 10 unique and fun garden border edging ideas. Enjoy!
I bought my first home last August. Yay me! I have all kinds of visions for the yard, but I’m quickly finding that Some are really expensive, some are too standard, but some..well..they are a bit unusual. But then, why be normal!
Of course, borders on gardens are done for many reasons. First, aesthetic value, which gives you the creative freedom to do what you want. Secondly, borders keep your plants contained. Some plants for example, like mints, tend to spread. By keeping them contained in a garden with borders, it helps to keep them from spreading. Further, the main reason I wanted borders on my gardens is to keep the mulch in and the lawn out. I’m working on hugelkultur type gardens with branches and mulch under the soil. Moreover, borders help keep all the mulch and soil from getting all over the place.
Dig a ditch around your garden bed that is about 2/3 the height of your bottles. Next, turn the bottles upside down and backfill around them. Make sure to keep the bottle about 4-5 inches above the surface of the soil. Make it your own by using all one color or assorting the colors for variety. Lastly, if you don’t drink a lot of wine, contact your neighbors or check out Freecycle!
