My husband was having problems mowing behind a kidney shaped bed, so I decided to do the lasagna trick to take it back to the property line. We put down cardboard from our new washer/dryer and covered it with mulch this past spring and I will put in plants this fall. (Be sure to cover the empty spots where the fold are because the wire grass tried coming up and I had to uncover the mulch and add another piece of cardboard.) Until then--I have potted what I think I want in this area and keep moving the pots around trying to decide what will look the best...and have enjoyed that aspect too. (We live in a raised ranch and our deck looks down on this end of the bed.) I let some of the cardboard show as my garden was on a garden tour and I was using this as a teaching technique. I will remove the showing cardboard when I edge this section of the bed.
