Hi there, i am going to dig out a plot of my garden and put an

you can buy, can anyone advise whether these edges should be
cemented into the ground or just butted up (sandwiched) against
the
grass and dug out piece of mud.

They can be just half buried, though take a lot of care wen
positioning them so they don't move out of line later.

Think about how you are going to cut the grass against the
edging - a
lawn mower won't cut that close.

No, but one can finish off with a strimmer.

Yeah, but what a bore! I prefer a mowing strip made of old bricks so
that the mower can deal with the whole area. If Loraine is very taken
with the concrete scallops, she can have bricks on the lawn side and
scallopy things on the flower side. Personally, I would have only the
bricks: I'm not a big concrete fan.
