My front lawn is fairly steeply sloped, and I'm making it into a series of flower beds. I'm trying to decide on the cheapest way to edge the beds that would also prevent erosion. I didn't want it to be very noticeable so I was going to use Master Mark recycled plastic edging in the 5" height, and plant it at an inward angle to the slope.
Do you think that will work? What would work better without being too much more expensive?
Interestingly, I moved some roses out there two days ago, and after digging out the clay soil and filling the hole with compost, I used the clay to hand-form a 2-inch ridge around the front and sides of the hole to prevent soil and water from running out when I watered them in. It worked well and got me thinking...
