Directions:

Step 1: Measure and Mark

To make a precise shape, use a tape measure to define the area of your garden bed. Once this is

established, sprinkle some baking flour onto the areas of grass that will be the border of your bed.

Step 2: Form Your Circle

Lay a disconnected water hose along the flour marks as a guide to form the shape of your bed.

Step 3: Create the Border Using our Border Spade, position the blade along the outside edge of the water hose, grip the handle with both hands and step onto the Comfort Step to slice the ground about 2-4 inches deep. Repeat this around the water hose. 3 Step 4: Remove the Sod To remove the sod, stick the blade of the Border Spade into one of your slices and begin to pull back on the spade while applying pressure on the Comfort Step to horizontally scrape underneath the surface of the sod.
