Building Beds - Creating Definition
This video shows the next step in our space transformation process. We are creating definition by sinking our pathways and raising our bed spaces. This definition really allows the eye to see with more clarity what can be done on a space and is often what lends inspiration towards continual working with your space.
Once your beds are built, and this is only one way to do that, you can begin working with the soil in more beneficial ways, and can work with plants that will build continual soil health as your garden progresses! Hope you find this helpful!
