Cut to the metre, no minimum order.", "description": "What you are buying\n\nA flexible strip of recycled black plastic, supplied by the metre and cut to the length you order. It has a rounded bead along the top edge and flat tabs along the bottom. The spikes go through those tabs and into the ground, and the soil you backfill holds the rest.\n\nTwo face heights. The 5 cm keeps grass out of a flat bed and is what most gardens need. The 10 cm has more depth in the ground and more above it, which is what you want if there is a mulch layer, a gravel area or a change of level to hold back.\n\nWorking out how many metres\n\nMeasure along the line the edging will actually follow, going round every curve, rather than straight across the bed. Those two numbers are different and the straight one is always short. A hose laid along the route and then measured is the easiest way to do it.\n\nAdd a little for cuts. Then order that many metres: we cut to your length and there is no minimum.\n\nFitting it\n\nStart by marking the line with a hose or sand and standing back to look at it. Gentle curves read as deliberate, tight wobbles read as a mistake, and this is the only free moment to change your mind.\n\nCut a clean vertical edge along the line with a square spade. This step is what makes the difference between edging that sits tight and edging that leans. Take out just enough soil that the top of the strip will finish about 50 mm above soil level.\n\nSeat the strip against the cut face with the bead uppermost, working along the run rather than trying to place the whole length at once. Drive a spike through a base tab with the rubber mallet roughly every 1.2 m along straight runs, and every 300 mm through curves. A curve is permanently trying to straighten itself, and under pegging one is the most common reason a run pulls flat over a season.\n\nWhere two lengths meet, butt the ends tightly together and put a spike either side of the join. A gap at a join is exactly where grass gets back through.\n\nFinish by pushing the soil back against both sides and firming it down with your heel.\n\nKeeping it right\n\nWalk the run each spring and tap back anything the frost has lifted. Keep soil and clippings off the top bead, because once the line is buried the mower starts catching it. Replace a damaged section rather than leaving a gap.\n\nWhen to buy something else\n\nIf your ground dips and rises sharply, a paver or brick border copes better than any continuous strip. If you want the edge to be invisible, buy black or stainless steel. If the bed is a design feature, corten is the finish people are usually picturing.", "llm_summary": "Lawn Edge Kit (pick code garden-edging-(5cm) black, and garden-edging (10cm) black for the deeper option) sold by Lawn Edge Europe at lawnedge.eu.com. Flexible black edging made from 100% recycled plastic, supplied per running metre and cut to the length ordered with no minimum. Two face heights: 5 cm at EUR 7 per metre and 10 cm at EUR 10 per metre. Three spiral spikes are included per metre. It bends to curves by hand with no heat or tools, and installs without a trench: cut a vertical line with a square spade, seat the strip against that face with the top about 50 mm above soil, drive the spikes through the base tabs with a rubber mallet, then backfill and firm. Peg roughly every 1.2 m on straight runs and every 300 mm on curves. It will not rust and works in any soil, including clay, sand and stony ground. Honest limitation: plastic fades and stiffens in strong sun over years, and a mower wheel can mark the top bead; steel or corten last longer but cost more and need a spade line cut first.
