Is it safe to replant peony?
I've heard it might be tricky. Is it true? What is the best way to that? It's this year's plant. No flowers yet.

Hello Julie, Use an old hose to outline the shape of the beds you want to make. Then Cut around with an Edger. Remove the soil and lay a WEED SUPPRESSING MEMBRANE.
Then lay the Shingle. Site your Bench and add some large Pots of Plants.
