Hi Daisy,

We put in a new bed this year and started by putting down a thick layer of corrugate and newspaper instead of purchasing weed mat. We ordered a mixture of topsoil and compost and it cost us 25 dollars a yard plus 50 for delivery. We started it when the ground was still hard at the end of winter so that the truck could come in right over the lawn and dump exactly were we would be needing it.

It looked like this at first.
