edging a shingle garden

hello what you need to mark your circle is a peg and string.i would get some old bricks myself and use the string again to put them in place.be better if you cemented them in but you dont have to as its only a flower bed.i have just put a blog up of a quarter circle pond im building using basicly the same system.hope ive helped take care bye for now

ow id use membrane to ofcourse

how about a bag of cobbles? i also went to a reclamation centre and found a thick anchor rope which has worked well as a divide and also makes good curves! log roll quite common but also can be shaped well.or treated logs half buried into the ground ?

You can make a circle with gravel boards by making saw cuts on one side to bend it to the required shape. A 10ft. x 4ins. board should cost about £4.

dirt and wood ive found dont do well together

Hey Leigh,
Most of the fences are wood to earth, many wooden buildings are close to the ground. Wooden edges round flower beds and lawns will last ten years. All trees are wood to earth.

dont get me wrong doctor im just suggesting concrete kicker boards ,bricks concrete etc if done right will last a hole lot longer.it just depends how long your staying wear you are i guess. i hope your well take care bye for now

Place an add in your local paper (it's free in ours, so would be in yours I would think) just saying old bricks or slabs wanted for garden project, you might get lucky!

a friend bought a lap fence panel and undid it. each lathe is deep enough to go 2-3 " in with 2-3" proud, they are flexible enough to do quite nice curves to. as they were pretreated they have lasted well and not to expensive to replace when they finally rot.

nice quick fix seaburn good thinking

thats a realy good idea sid
