So, I bought the manual sod cutter last week or so and that has been so much fun to use. I can make a garden bed in an evening after work. Anyhow, I was freaking out a bit about how I was going to edge all of these beds I've made. I was looking at the plastic edging and the tin edging and all of it was ugly and expensive. Anyhow, came across a technique on Youtube where you pretty much just cut down with a shovel below the grass roots and then taper in and use air as the edging to cut down on grass intrustion. Looks pretty cool.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?...Of course, that lead me to wonder, is there an easier way to do that other than scooting around the yard with a shovel?
Anyhow, it turns out there is an edging attachment for the sod kicker I already bought. I couldn't find a single review or video of anyone using it- not sure if the algorithm just hates me today or there simply aren't any reviews yet. It comes in tomorrow- I figure if the cutter works that well, the edger probably works great too. If the edging tool works as well as the sod cutter, I'm going to be unstoppable after tomorrow.
Today I worked late- the drawbacks of working in accounting in the first week of the month. I only managed to get an hour in the garden before it got too dark to see how deep the hole I was digging was. On the brightside, I'm down to just 11 roses left to plant, still plenty of other plants, but, only 11 roses. I let myself skip around a bit and get the most urgent in the ground first- ones that had outgrown their pot or ones that looked stressed or ones that LOVE to tip over in the slightest breeze. All the tippiest ones are planted as of tonight, so I should walk out in the morning to no tipped over pots.
Picked another giant pile of cucumbers and tomatoes- eating them as fast as I can. Love this time of year for the bottomless veggie buffet. Eating veggies with every meal, still can't get it all eaten. I keep making pickles and freezing tomatoes for sauce later.
