Cancelled, one major garden renovation! The Breadwinner has added “Move Family” to the To-Do list. Instead of building my dream garden I’ve opted to give the garden a little “curb appeal.”
We may sell or maybe rent, either way the garden needs sprucing up. I had grand plans to add raised beds, stepping-stones, flower beds, increase the overall size and define a border. Not knowing if the next occupants will even want a garden I have scrapped my plans to replicate the Garden of Eden and settled for cost-effective landscape edging.
Sunning the edging makes it more pliable.
Plastic edging is rigid and unforgiving when cold, it is easiest to install on a sunny and/or warm day. I learned the sunny day lesson by watching my neighbor’s cloudy/cold day edging project 
Edging set in the trench.
To install the edging dig a small trench ~4 inches deep and wide enough to hammer in anchors at a 45° angle.
Anchor
45 degrees is best, I'm a little shallow but it'll work
This brand of edging sells in rolls of 60′ and 20′. I needed 74′.
Splicing the ends, easy peasy IF it's warm.
All Spliced.
Done. *Note the bad photo, I'm using it anyway cause it's RAINING!!
After anchoring simply back fill and it’s done! My first attempt installing edging, the hardest part was keeping the kiddos occupied.
Are you impressed? This could be your garden. Would you like to live somewhere over the rainbow?
