Recently bought a new-build house and the back garden is just turf to the edges of the fence/wall. I'd like to dig a border around the edges to plant some stuff but I have no idea how best to go about this.
I've got an edging spade but how do I get the turf up? Is it just a case of getting a regular spade underneath and lifting or is that too clumsy?
What do I do once the turf is up, put bark/wood chips/something else down or just leave bare soil?
This is my first garden having always lived in flats so I'm a total novice!
