Phew, the boss's wife had me up early and outside just after sunup, with a shovel in hand. Digging in the dirt again. In the front yard several years ago she made me plant a bush and it was fairly small, and she had me use a plastic ring to keep the grass out of the bush area. That bush has grown, and the plastic ring has started to fall apart.
So out comes the round plastic ring, and in goes a square brick edging material. 8 pieces HAD to be in a square, and not an Octagon, which would had been easier. So just one trip to the big box store to get more soil, and lots of digging to get the Bermuda grass out and the roots of the grass go down 10 inches. Any roots left, it just grows back. And Bermuda just loves to invade a garden area, so it is like candy to Bermuda grass. I dumped the extra dirt and grass chunks in a sunken area in the back yard where a huge ruse bush was. It died from new disease and the roots are finally rotten away so it was low.
Two full hours later, we were done. She was out there and did lots of pointing and grunting and she placed all the barrier cloth under the bricks. It was sure fun.
