Oh I do understand...here are pictures of my "very narrow beds up against the house with the foundation plants"....nah, just kidding!!
You know I have had some plastic edging in place for over ten years, I think a lot of the problem is in the installation. The way I do it, and I think this is the way it is meant to be done, is to only leave the very top rounded part exposed, the rest is under ground. I think most people try to use it as a small retainer wall and leave a lot of the plastic exposed that should actually be underground. Of course to keep it that way you would have to go back and and some soil around it periodically because of erosion around it. Believe me no offense was taken, and I do have other beds with the other much criticized border... Liriope. Liriope is great for a border because after you make one border (which is normally free around here, from gift plants) you can then make the rest of your borders free from your own plants.
Oh, got carried away there, forgot the most important part, I am a week behind in the pod casts. I have been to busy with Dave's great new feature the two of you mentioned in the pod cast. I have been taking photos and gathering up old note books and scrap pieces of paper etc. trying to get all my info together in the new plant list addition. Great work, and very enjoyable pod casts.
