How to Dig a Flower Bed

Dig a flower bed well, and you'll have half your gardening work done for you. A well-prepared bed promotes good drainage, has plenty of nutrients, makes watering and weeding a snap, and prevents disease and pests. And it doesn't have to break your back, either, if you follow a few garden-savvy tips.

Steps

Step One

Dig a small hole about 2 feet deep to see what sort of soil and conditions you're dealing with. Then choose an amendment for your soil as needed.
