This Spring, I ripped out all the plastic edging that "came with the house"
when we purchased it a year ago, and made a really distinct bevelled edge with
an edging tool. I LOVE IT!  I find it makes mowing MUCH easier than with the
PVC edge because there is a 4 inch gap (sort of a ditch) between the lawn and
my garden.  It is definitely more attractive than that horrible edging - and
cheaper!  The only catch, is that I have to make sure not to plant things too
close to the edge of the garden where the soil gets very dry without anything
to retain the water.  

Just my 10 cents!
