What do you all edge your gardens with? My beds are either wooden logs from trimmed trees, stones, and a couple of small areas have brick edging.
I'm hoping I can replace the wood this year because most of it is rotting away. My source for stone and used bricks (the local dump :-) has closed up and I'm at a loss finding a material that won't cost a lot. That flimsy plastic edging really doesn't work well in my zone and it's always lifting up. I was thinking of trying to cast my own edging stones from cement but I'm not sure I want to take on such a project. I have a lot of area to cover and I'm wondering how time consuming & back breaking it would be. I was thinking I'd use aluminum loaf pans or maybe plastic window boxes as molds
Anyone have any other suggestions ... or experience working with cement?
