This Old House expert Jenn Largesse shares tips for transforming your home garden into a vibrant outdoor oasis.
Pro Tip: Before installing landscape edging, use a cultivator to fluff up your beds—it gets oxygen into compacted soil and can actually reduce how much mulch you need to add. As landscaper Lee Gillian explained on Ask This Old House: “Some people think you have to put three inches on every season and that’s not true. Like fluff up what’s there…give some oxygen to it and then put less mulch.”
