RE: Cambridge Edging question

I don't know what Cambridge edging is, but I was checking into edging for
some beds and the primo nursery here basically told me grass will "jump"
EVERYTHING, so I didn't bother with it.  I edge my beds with a spade once a
year and keep in check with mowing the rest of the season.  I let plants
soften the edges as they grow.  If you're into precision beds, this
obviously wouldn't work for you.

For mine is a little old fashioned garden where the flowers come
together to praise the Lord and teach all who look upon them to do
likewise.
