Give Your Garden Some Gusto
(MS) -- Does your garden look a little sad once the spring-flowering bulbs have finished blooming? Well, perk it up! There's plenty of warm weather left to give your garden a little gusto. Add some summer-flowering bulbs to your yard. Lilies are lovely and dahlias will delight you. Both will provide color and beauty throughout this time of year. Throw in a few summer-blooming shrubs to the mix, like hydrangeas, and your garden will be sure to shine. Once you've placed these summer beauties, be sure to frame your landscape beds with a clean, fresh border. Choose one that is durable and doesn't overwhelm your flowers. Easy Gardener, the maker of many popular borders, has recently introduced a new product called Fiber Edge. Not only is it attractive, it has been described as one of the first major edging developments to come along in 20 years. Made of strong, weather-resistant fiberglass, professional landscaping contractors are already raving about its durability. It outperforms metal, plastic and wood edging. Everyday gardeners are in love with the flexibility and ease-of-use of Fiber Edge. It comes in an easy-to-carry roll package and conforms to any shape, unlike plastic coil edging. To install, just line up the edging where you want it to go, dig a shallow trench, insert the edging and pound it in with a rubber mallet. It's that simple. Anchor the edging with Fiber Edge metal stakes (six come free with each 20-foot roll) and you're set. Strong enough to stand up to fertilizers and even weed eaters, this attractive edging will last for years. It is guaranteed not to rust, warp, rot or fade and, with a little help from colorful summer blooms, will keep your garden looking cheerful all summer long. Fiber Edge comes in an attractive grass green color that blends perfectly with any lawn or garden. The edging is available in 20-foot and 100-foot roll packs at your favorite garden center or chain retailer, or by calling (800) EASY-INC. |
