The edging will have a natural curl from being wound into a circle for packaging.

The trench should be as deep as your plastic lawn edging PLUS 2.5 cm. The wheels give the tool the mobility to make nice curves, and you can clearly seeĪs you cut, making it easy to evaluate and revise the line of your bed. Simply walk behind the tool as it rolls easily along, cuttingĪ continuous 11/2-inch-deep line into the soil. Method 2: Using an Edge Hog, a tool with a circular blade on wheels. Method 1: The traditional way to do this is to use either a spade or a half-moon edger to move along the line you’ve set out. Such meticulous attention to detail doesn’t require a lot of work.
