Ultimate DIY garden edging that will last forever
In this video, I demonstrate how to build a block wall that acts as garden bed edging using basic tools and readily available materials.
This process will work for any concrete blocks and some stone block walls. If you're looking for garden edging ideas, you definitely want to check this out.
The blocks I'm using in this video are the Rumblestone series by Pavestone. These are available at most big box home improvement stores.

    I should have listened to all the commenters on these ez mender videos. First one i tried, split the concrete, with 1/2 split through whole thing. Its beyond me, how this steel chisel, that is about 1/3 of an inch wider than the square opening, can NOT crack it.

    The narrator is explaining the positioning of the diagonal brace correctly; the guy building the gate installed it the opposite. This is illustrative of how construction contracts sometimes go; the PM tells the contractor one thing and the contracted builder thinks he's interpreted it correctly and/or thinks he knows better and does it his way.

BTW, my mom has a 2 story house and the eaves needed a paint job (plus clean, scrape/sand..), is hiring a handyman enough or is the 2nd story eave not something a handyman will do. I was thinking it may be too small a job for a roofer or contractor as suggested by other videos. Thanks

    I came to look on how to drill into concrete because I am fixing my porch that has some loose decorative posting. I am only 105 lb lady, and I will try with my electric screw driver. I am afraid it may not work for me. I have to go get the masonry bit. I am hoping for the best since my holes are fairly small. The house former owner never secured these things, and they are a hazard. Thanks for the instructions!

    Well now i understand why installing baseboards in my 120yr old house last weekend was a nightmare. There is no baseplate stud. Pretty sure the closest equivalent is the old heart pine floor. Ended up having to screw it into the door frame on one end. I think i did hit one stud, but this run was only going a few feet from a door frame to just behind a radiator. So there was probably only 1 stud since mine 18in apart at best.

    @TheNudeBrewer 12 дней назад

    Look at any garden stone wall in your area and you will see the same thing over and over-- the stones are uneven and sinking. It's because no one respects how much **YOU HAVE** to dig down and put the crushed stone as the base!!! It's extra work, it's extra cost, and it seems so unnecessary when you're placing the stones. But they will all sink if you don't do that step. Take the time. Do it right. This is a great video!

    I don't get it. In the beginning of the video, around 1:10, he says "Sealing your grout does not make it waterproof". Then, around 1:30-1:35, he says "... you can't just seal the grout to seal the shower." Uh-oh. I thought that's what we were doing. If water goes through the grout and into the mortar and the porous backside of the tiles, that can't be good. But the rest of the video is filled with comments about making the grout waterproof. For example, at about 3:40 "[The sealer] will penetrate into the pores and harden, and nothing else will get into it." At about 8:15, "Test it by putting a drop of water on [the newly sealed grout] and see if it absorbs into the grout, and if it does, you need to put on more sealer." In other words, the sealed grout is supposed to be waterproof. So which is it? Is sealed grout supposed to keep water out of my tiled shower wall? Or not?
