Beautiful! I used to use the half moon, but am lazy now and use a garden hose to mark the curves/shapes and a foldable garden saw - and saw right against the hose. :)

Someone else mentioned clay soil. I have the same. You need to edge after rain otherwise it’s impossible. I’ve found once you have edged ( I do a wider edge because I have Bermuda grass) that it’s always easier there after.

Thank you for showing me how to edge the lawn. I don’t have the proper tools in the way that I was doing it has been wrong. I would like a cleaner edge then the one I’ve been doing. First I need to invest in the tools that would help.❤

@grumpy_poo Ай бұрын

Tip.... I can't use the long handled tools due to health issues ( bad back and hips, I can't bend) ...I garden on my hands and knees. I have edged my (not too shabby ) lawn with a wide bladed wallpaper scraper ( sharpened ) , string to mark the curved bit, length of wooden batten for the straight bit ..... took a bit of time but got it done. Sometimes you don't need all the expensive tools, edging is not something you will be doing all the time. All the lovely grassy bits cut off make great compost. This chap is a specialist so he has the kit.

@slowmarchingband1 2 ай бұрын

I see a lot of guys using the edging tool with the 'lip' facing towards them, but I use it like you're doing here. Seems much easier to create a curve like that, lip facing away.

@acreslawncare 2 ай бұрын

Yeah defiantly easier this way!!

@philshaw439 Ай бұрын

Use a hosepipe to get the lawn edge alignment and then cut along that line with the edging tool.

@silkedavid8876 2 ай бұрын

I had always wondered about the tool, it is a razor hoe! Internet search suggests it is from Japan, I once had the opportunity to use a small japanese saw, brilliant tool! Might have to invest into a razor hoe!

Enjoy Disneyland! Quick Q, over time if I am to use the half moon edger (even once a year to crisp up the line) does it eat into the over all lawn? I basically mean after 10+ years will I be losing lots of my lawn space, if not why? Thanks!

@acreslawncare 2 ай бұрын

Yes it will keep eating sway at your lawn if you take too much off at a time. Add a bit of soil and seed if need to bring it back in!

I've done my edges like that ,then when I cut the grass the one side of my mower goes lower on the soil and I get a scraped lawn on the edge..not pretty anymore..how do you cut the lawn right next to the ditch?

@acreslawncare 2 ай бұрын

Years of practise I guess. But your right, that can happen! Just strimming the edges might be easier if you dont want the risk!
