An effective, long-lasting, aesthetically-pleasing, affordable edging has to be the Holy Grail of gardening.

Those of us that garden in areas not full of rock seem to seek out, and wish we had more, rocks for our gardens. Those that garden on rocky sites often spend their time trying to get rid of the rock.

Sorry I couldn't suggest a source, but I hope you find something. If you know anyone in the land-clearing business, ask them if they ever run into places where lots of rock need a new home. If you come up with another idea, let the rest of us know.

There's tons of stuff on the "pile" and they also have oodles of "seconds" to choose from. Tell Kenny that I sent you!

I have a large garden and have never felt the need to edge with stones. Tried it years ago, and they always got in the way, didn't work, and looked like they didn't belong. Contrived, comes to mind.
Brandon's right about rocks, if you don't have em', you want em' and if you do, you want to get rid of them. If your ground is flat, you want some hills. If it's hilly, you want to terrace it and get some flat ground. If it's wet, you want dry. If it's dry you want wet. I guess it's always greener on the other side of the fence and that won't change.
Since I don't have much of a budget for the garden, I try to work with what I have.
I have a lot of round rocks on my land, but I did buy blasted quarry rock for outcroppings. The round rock I dig up is used for lower, water related applications.
So, to sum it up, just because you don't have stones for edging, doesn't mean you shouldn't make more beds.
That's the way I see it anyway.
Got any pics?
Mike...out of my area, but in my element.
