Can anyone advise me on lawn edgings? I want to have a neat edge to my lawn
and am thinking about using the corrugated or straight rolls of thin coloured
plastic. There are several makes. Is it as easy as digging a slit about 4
inches deep along the line of the edge and just inserting the required length
and then back-filling with soil? I expect the cheaper ones to fade after a
few years but I’m not overly bothered by that. I’ve seen the metal ones
but they are quite expensive, though may be more rigid and easier to bang in
with a mallet. One disadvantage I can see is that the lawn close to the
edging will have to be cut with shears, or carefully with a strimmer, so as
not to chew up the edging.

At one end of the plastic market Poundstretcher do £2 for 8 metres, and at
the other B&Q is doing £15 for 1.5 metres.
