You know it never occurred to me to use wood. And I have plenty of scraps that I could have used too.

There are more organic means to stop grass, including a line of salt as a border every now and then, or just burying wood, bricks, stones, etc. I understand it's use, but not a fan of anything breaking down into soil, whether it's going into my food or not. And it will eventually break down, and does emit VOCs constantly anyway.

I've used the plastic sheeting with tent pegs to keep out weeds before but the plastic strip for grass encroachment is a great one, thanks.littlekarstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18177535712034761585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-38648299864056436662011-07-06T13:15:09.220+09:302011-07-06T13:15:09.220+09:30Yollie once again thanks for inspiring this.

Please go ahead and pinch it as long as you give credit to the hardware stranger. I know what you mean about pulling out grass roots. Even if it doesn't break off you just keep pulling following this never ending cable around the garden.<br /><br /><b>Kellee</b> yes I am pleased with the edging too. The bricks were Melanie's idea. Some of the beds are a bit messy looking with all the weeds growing. But the chook tractor is slowing making its way around.<br /><br /><b>Amy</b> thank you but I happy to settle for it being just highly productive. You are welcome about the photo I will endeavour to keep it up dated in future. Thanks for the kick up the pants.Jason Dingleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332208335330160649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212976055144932291.post-10449609653435465792011-07-05T08:32:48.464+09:302011-07-05T08:32:48.464+09:30Morning Jason

It is so difficult to pull out because it breaks off and leaves bits of root and when you aren't looking off it goes again.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577208643431414375noreply@blogger.com
