http://springhillnursery.com/ – In this video, Scott from Spring Hill Nurseries shows how to go from grass to garden in just a few easy steps. Using a few simple tools, we demonstrate how to get rid of the sod and put in the blooms. To prep, youll need a good site, a flathead shovel, water, a tarp, and some fertilizer. First, we remove the sod. Next, remove a layer of about a spades depth worth of topsoil. Next, remove the layer of subsoil, another spades depth. Keep the soil separated on the tarp. Add garden compost to both piles. Now, fill the hole by putting the topsoil in first, giving the bed a perfect planting foundation. Finally, fill in the rest of the hole with the subsoil. Now youll have a perfect garden bed to give your perennials a great start.

Going about it arse backwards, burying the topsoil. This is NOT double digging!
Thank you. You're video was the only one that was of any help to me.
You can use Woodprix instructions to build it yourself guys.
Thanks Jim Carey! Jk Jk lol! Thank you! This was a very helpful video.
Not loud enough
Thank you Scott. This is great information. Simple and straight to the point.
Very informative. Thank you.
I just remove the grass and loosen up the dirt with a garden fork, my flower beds are gorgeous. You are making a simple process too complicated, I have trees, peonies, daylillies, hostas, Japanese maples and many other plants thriving. If I followed your extreme instructions I would give up before getting anything in the ground.

Well there's the first 25 square feet. 875 more to go.
If you want a garden bigger than a postage stamp invest in a rototiller.
I don't understand why you would put the topsoil on the bottom. This seems like it would would put the least fertile layer in contact with the roots of whatever you plant.
And this would not work in places with heavy clay, like Georgia. That subsoil would be a hardpacked yellow mineral soil that plants would hate, regardless of how much compost you added.
This is a huge amount of work… just buy a rotary tiller and use it to work in some compost.🙄
excellent thankyou:)
I don't know where you live with loose soil like that but come to the midwest and make a bed in our clay soils and it won't be so easy.
Why would you use the topsoil on the bottom, and the red sub soil on top? Completely counter productive as sub soil has zero organics outside of the compost you added, dumb
Sooooo much work! Easy?! Nope.
Thanks for the video and information, great job!!
My grass is not that soft.
Hmmm. 30 seconds in and I realise this ain't gonna be easy. I don't have any grass on my land and my ground is too hard for a shovel to penetrate.
In my area. It's illegal to put subsoil on top of topsoil. I can't see the point of so much work and not have good topsoil to plant in.
Nice app for kids
Is this man an alien? Why is he not comically progressively exhausted after each shoveling cut?
I feel like I need to put a chicken wire, can anyone help me out; rookie here
