Thank you for your advice. I've done some digging with my razor shovel. Here's some photos 📸

Re: best way to dig trenches for garden edging

Hi @Christine12,

 

You're not going to need to dig a big trench, so it won't really matter too much.

 

Just dig a trench exactly where you want the garden edging to sit, and then backfill it once you have put your edging in place. Vegetation will grow back, so I wouldn't worry too much about that either.

 

If you are using edging with pegs, install them before backfilling the trench.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Is it worth spraying the trench with weed killer

Hi @Christine12,

 

It would help prevent weeds from growing through that area for a while, so it would be worthwhile.

 

Let me know if you have any further questions.
