Boarder edging?
I have a small 'yarden' that is mostly paved but has a smallish boarder along the northern wall, and then cutting across the corner. Its currently edged with the green lawn edging that comes in a roll, but that's disintegrating and I need something else to edge the boarder to stop the soil washing away as there is a slope.The soil is quite heavy clay so holds a lot of water. Any ideas on a cheap solution as this is a rented house and I don't want to be spending a fortune? This is what it looked like last April before the edging got completely destroyed.

Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

Cheapest solution I could give you , but don't know if possible in a rented property.
Stack up the top soil , dig out some subsoil , replace top soil.
The you only have to dispose of the subsoil ??
Perfect solution with out costing a penny.
BUT
Where do you spread the subsoil ??0 -
Hello.
You can buy plastic edging on a roll - it's about 6" high and would be a good cheap quickfix - they often have stuff like this in the £1 shop - good luck0
