Square Foot Gardening

Bender Board

16 years ago

This may not be the appropriate forum. Does anyone have experience with bender board for making a curved barrier between grass and planting bed? I saw some gardeners using it at Monticello. It looked like it was plastic or fiberboard. I have a new landscape and am pulling out little pieces of grass, which are getting ahead of me even as I write this.

I don't know the phrase "bender board."

Do you mean plastic edging?If so, I've put some in with both the Hound Dog step 'n edger tool and the squat shovel-like edge hound tool.

The thing with the edge hound is you have to make sure the plastic edging you buy has that "V" groove at the bottom to slip the tool into to help push it down.
