Re: Marilyn; making edges

Hi Judy and all Listers;
I know its been a while since this was posted and I don't believe I've
seen any more on the subject but I wanted to add a tip.  If you want to
make the edges of the bed curved, lay a garden hose out in the shape you
want and follow that along with the edging tool.  BTW, I've used that
type of edging tool for over 20 years and am not sure why the edges are
rounded,  maybe to help penetrate the soil better since it's so wide?
Sorry for taking up bandspace if this was discussed and I missed it!
Sincerely,
Richard, Beaverton, Ore.
