    Having a rotary mower with no back roller means I have trouble with the lawn edges and end up ripping the grass bare in places.
    I have almost completed edging the lawns with blue bricks which solves the problem..and no more edging shears either!
    This mornings little job..

    So you escaped the eagle eye, then Nick! [​IMG]

    Looks good, and very practical. I could just do with the same myself....

    I have approx. 250 paving bricks from free cycle just like Nicks' , only beige not blue :( I was inspired by an earlier picture of another border he did the same way....
    What I need now is motivation.

    Just think of the extra time sitting down with a cool drink after mowing instead of having to clip the edges and clear up! [​IMG] [​IMG]
