Edging Flowerbeds
Edging the flowerbeds makes everything look neat and tidy, even if your beds are a mess of flowers and some weeds. I’ve been spending some time edging the front flowerbeds this month making everything look nice.
I have chosen not to add a plastic or metal edge in my garden because I’m often expanding and changing the beds. So each year I trim the edges of the lawn to keep them nice and tidy and to give me a nice mow edge along the borders. I usually fill the area I cut out with mulch to keep the weeds away.
Do you take the time to edge your flowerbeds?
Very nice edges. I usually do the same but I’ve gotten way behind this year!

Those look great.
Edging is a perrenial problem for me. Do you use a power edger to keep those lines so neat?
I am using a haphazard system of edging and hope to consolidate a method soon.

I use the good old fashioned shovel. I find that once you get a nice edge if you redo it each year it doesn’t take that long. Sometimes I do it twice, once in the spring once in the fall.
