How can I rewrite/rearrange this letter?

You should start off your garden by thinking small. It is best to start a small flower bed than to plant a big one. You can always add to your flower bed later. It is a good idea to draw a diagram of your yard. This way you can roughly sketch in where you want your flower bed to see how it looks. The type of flowers you want to plant will depend on the area you have picked for your flower bed. Some flowers grow well in the shade while others grow well in the sun.


The next decision you will need to make is what shape you would like your flower bed to be. Most flower beds are rectangular in shape. It is not the most artistic form, but it is easy to mow around. If you want to be artistic, we recommend a curved flower bed. An easy way to see how your flower bed will look would be to take a garden hose and lay it out, outlining the shape of the flower bed you desire. This way you can move the hose around until you become satisfied with the shape you want.





Once you are satisfied with how the hose outlines your flower bed, you are ready to start preparation for digging. The best way to proceed is to drive a lot of small stakes along the curve of the hose, about two feet apart. This will serve as a guide for spading the flower bed. You can remove the hose after all the stakes are in place. Another tip is to tie a string from stake to stake. This keeps you within your outline while digging.





Grass and flowers do not do well together, so you need to dig up the grass. Take a spade and follow the line of your string. Place the blade of the spade in line with the string and dig straight down. To make the removal of the grass easier, cut the grass into squares about four to six inches deep. Then you will need to pile the turf out of the way. If you have any bare spots on your lawn, be sure you clear out any large rocks, weeds, and other debris. Rake the dirt smooth after you finish all the digging and clearing.

Dont start too big. Create a small flower bed first rather than a big one. You can then add to this later. A good way to plan your garden would be to draw a diagram first. this way you can easily see where things can go and where they'll look best. you will need to think about what sort of flowers you want to put in your flower bed because different flowers need different conditions.


Next choose a shape for your flowerbed.Rectangle flowerbeds are most common as they can easily be mowed around. a curved flowerbed is more artistic. if you cant decide, take a garden hose and plan out the outline of the flowerbed with it. move it around until you are satisfied with the shape.


When you have decided on a shape you are ready to dig. Mark out the shape of the flowerbed first to avoid mistakes in the digging. you can mark it with a series of stakes or string.


You'll need to dig up the grass so using your markings, take a spade and start digging up the grass in that area. it will be alot easier if you cut straight down and if you split it into small square sections. remove the turf and clear out any rocks and debris etc from the flowerbed area. rake the area to churn the soil and make it soft.





Hope this helps a little
