LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, Sept. 9

Quick and Economical Edging

For large projects a gas-powered edger is best, but for small edging jobs, use a nursery spade to create an sharp edge to a garden bed or separate a flower garden from the lawn.

Short-handled with a straight rectangular blade, a nursery spade makes straight vertical cuts. Avoid garden shovels with rounded backs and pointed tips in order to cut a straight line.
