Your coreopsis is already blooming? I like how you use stone to make an edging, but how do you cut the grass along the stone?
ReplyDeleteThe coreopsis is an unusual one only about 8" tall called 'Mouse Ears'. I've never seen it for sale anywhere, not sure where I got it. I have a six inch strip of open soil between the rock and the lawn, which I treat (sorry, it would be untenable in my current physical condition otherwise). I redid the rock border last year. I had tried landscape fabric, plastic everything, but couldn't keep the "lawn" (which is just domesticated quack grass, I think) out of the rocks and my garden beds. This has worked much better. I have since seen the same border treatment used at the Rotary Garden in Janesville.
ReplyDeleteI use my electric weed eater alone the very edge about every other mowing. My electric lawn mower wheel moves along the dirt line. I adjusted the rock to deal with the turning radius of my push electric mower.
