我家前院有一个花坛，我把它叫做 "Jess 边界"。之所以叫这个名字，是因为这个花坛是我和女儿一起布置的，每年花坛中间总会有一大片向日葵。 向日葵是 Jess 最喜欢的花。
和今年我的其他花圃一样，这里也长满了杂草。 我整理了一下，并添加了覆盖物，但最令人担忧的是边缘。 无论我如何在边缘开沟，都会有一根杂草从我们的草坪杂草丛生的地方长出来（它是绿色的，看起来像草坪，但草是其中最不常见的！）。
我不想一遍又一遍地开沟，所以投资购买了一些 Vigaro 镶边条。 我在花园的其他地方也用过这种镶边条，用剪草机修剪起来非常方便，还能很好地防止杂草生长。 此外，这种镶边条还带有扇形边缘，非常美观。
镶边条是可翻转的，以 6 英寸为单位相互交错。 整套镶边条有 20 英尺长。 我是在家得宝（Home Depot）买的，20 英尺大约 14 美元。 这条镶边条用了两箱。
要完成这个项目，您还需要一个橡胶锤（关联链接）。 这个橡胶锤可以将塑料镶边敲入地下，但不会对它们造成任何损坏。 我几年前买了一个，一直用它来敲这种类型的镶边以及植物桩和其他塑料花园直立物品。
这是我开始种草前的样子。 这棵杂草生命力很强，我一个半月前才在这条边挖了沟。 边界的四面都长满了杂草。

首先，我用铲子的顶端沿着沟槽边缘挖，这样做有两个好处：一是可以方便地放置边角料，二是可以将边缘的杂草割掉，便于清除。 
镶边可以单块插入，也可以在插入前用橡皮锤将其拼接起来。 对于长的直边，我用了四块拼接起来。 如果有轻微的弧度，我就用了几块。 成对拼接会更快。
在拐角处，我一次只敲一块。 这种镶边的真正优点之一是它非常灵活。 较长的塑料镶边也会弯曲，但你有整个大面积可以使用。 这些镶边以 6 英寸为一节，非常容易操作。

只需边走边敲打，最后就会形成一个美观的边缘，非常适合防止草和杂草长到边界上。 
边界的这一部分是最宽的区域，这里的边缘看起来非常漂亮，使床铺更加圆润。
完成的边框，四周都有镶边。 边框里再也没有杂草了，我也不用再挖沟了！现在我就等着向日葵开花了。
您在花园边框中使用哪种边框？ 请在下面留言。
