Wanted a cheap border which i could do myself and which would be long lasting

Before

Dug a trench about half depth of the pavers

Layed a bit of mortar mix and squadged them in.

Just put some mortar in the gaps and put gravel up to them.

Also built little edges around the bottom of fruit trees

Ok they aren't perfect but they're home made!

      I'd end up using plastic or silk flowers and greenery. Allergic reaction to bee stings can be life threatening. In our sue-'em society, you have to protect yourself. 'Sides I'd forget to water the lovely flowers and end up with dried out twigs. Ooh, fire hazard from discarded cigarette... there goes the house and the neighbor's too😢

    Great idea and perfection isn't everything I love the rustic I did it myself look! Thanks for sharing.
