    Are you sure you're not a professional? That's got a proper showroom finish to it, great job!

    I have a similar set up and I have blackbirds pecking at the bark and chucking it onto the grass 🙁 I think I will replace it with gravel soon

    wow. what a difference that border has made. looking forward to seeing what you have planned for the upper part of the garden. keep up the good work 👍🏻

    Silly question but what stops the lawn edging from rotting from water? are they always treated before you buy them?

    Don’t see the point of putting bark down to be honest, should have gone up to the sleepers with the turf if your not gonna plant anything🤔
    Gravel near lawn (step) never a good idea esp for mowing.
    Would have put the lawn edging in first before laying the lawn, that’s just me.

    Looks class! What size was the wood you used for the stakes mate? Attempting a similar border myself.

    I knocked my pegs into the ground and every one went in at a different angle. The entire length of the boarding looks wonky. I've pulled it up. it looks crap.

    That’s Steven Gerrard narrating this video, and there’s nothing you can say to change my mind.

    Very nice. What I would encourage people to do, though, is give the wood some extra protection with a creosote substitute or similar. Even pre treated wood will rot quickly in a border. Easy to replace, I suppose.

    Helpful video, thank you. The weedmat/membrane is a bad idea long term though. Bad for soil health and doesn't do your plants any favours.

    Sorry for the dumb question but what is the tool you are using to create the holes for the posts? Is it a small jackhammer tool?
