I am contemplating to use bamboo, but need to collect more. <br /><br />~Marie <br />Thanks Marie.... I can see your beautiful edgings in your recent post: Saturday 24 april 2010 April 2010 titled Spring work in the beautiful weather or VĂ¥ronn i nydeleg ver, against a rockwall.<br /><br />~Andrea <br />I dont know what's the problem.

We let pegaga grow in between, and pull them out when the the gap become too dense and they will grow again.<br /> <br />~ Susan <br />Very eco-friendly indeed, but not many people like to deal with it.

Of course we are meddling with nature, so it is fair indeed for nature to redo things over time.<br /><br />~ Rebecca @ In The Garden <br />For a little vegetable garden, I do have manageable space. Nothing seems to be out of my sight and scrutiny. What else can we do, both of us, other than trying new concept for edges, look after plants and maintain some level of neatness... haha.<br /><br />~ Sheila <br />Yes, edges are as important as the contents. Edges provide demarcation, concept and neatness. Yes, doing research is a worthwhile effort before embarking on it. Our edges are pragmatic in nature and concepts.... we really allow changes to avoid boredom.!!<br /><br />BANGCHIK<br />PUTRAJAYA MALAYSIA.Bangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-62789629030457309952010-04-26T20:26:55.614+08:002010-04-26T20:26:55.614+08:00Love the edging!

It will be the main project, but I am not sure what will work with the 'style' of the house and garden. I need to do some more research on what is available because I will need a lot of it!
