Does anyone know or have made garden edgings.
I know I can go and buy them at Bunnings (which for me is quite far without
transport), but if there is a way I would like to be creative and do my own.
Our local Kmart only has those cut down logs stuck together at the back with
black plastic material.
Any ideas anyone? Thank you
Katherine

A friend of mine made her own. She wanted the concrete ones that were 2
levels so she had a garden edge and a mowing strip. She figured that mixing
concrete was just like making a cake and eventually did her whole garden
using masonite strips which she held in place with metal spikes while the
concrete set. She said that she had a whole stack of men who, while they
walked their dogs, would stick their heads over her front fence, check out
her progress and give her tips on how to do the job properly. Dunno that
this will be a lot of help to you htough if you don'thave transport. Bags of
concrete are heavy.

Thank you for that tip.
I can order the concrete bags and have them home delivered from the Sand and
Cement place. Probably cheaper than Bunnings.

Mostly for the small front yard where the soil is spilling over onto the
paving/stencil area.
