Fun story: @Jillianmarisa@vmst.io and I used this cheap edging at our old place. We decided we didn’t like it. It’s wavy if your yard isn’t perfectly level-whose isn’t? Also, plastic is dumb. We used it all, had no plans for more.
Then kid 1 and I volunteered at a river cleanup. Our team fished a whole roll of it out of the Missouri River 😑.
Rather than landfill it, here we are.

Last project of the day was to lay cardboard down a 25 ft edge of the yard, 4ft gap from fence. Then used that dumb plastic edging on the back side which faces the neighbor. I cut and dug holes every 3 ft, and planted EIGHT American Elderberry / Sambucus canadensis. Then -because I’m nuts- I mulched as much as I could but the sun set a long time ago and I had to give up. I am BEAT. But I did it! #Elderberry #Zone6B
