Re: edges

Hi
We have recently added boarders to my perennial beds using old broken
bits of concrete from our dug up driveway.  We smashed them into 
manageable bits with a sledge hammer and then moved them into position.
We dug the first layer into the dirt edge and then 2 more layers on top for
height then all the old topsoil from the driveway was wheelbarrowed in and
now I have the hugh task of filling in with heaps of plants!!

Did not cost us anything except beers for the mates who helped.  Wanted a
natural look and $$$ of course was an issue.  Old bits of discarded
concrete
seems to be readily avaliable, could try exchange magazines or your local 
newspapers.
