Place garden bed on its side on the ground. Use the Arrow T50 Staple Gun and Arrow T50 504M1 1/4” staples; attach the 5’ x 5’ mesh to the bottom of the bed. The mesh will allow for earthworms to get in and help keep the weeds out. Use scissors to trim excess mesh. The 504M1 monel staples are rustproof and are rated for outdoor use.
