I like your thoughts. Using my box blade like a dozer, I could easily scrape off grass along the edges of straight beds. However, I'm not sure my wife is going to have straight edges. One thing for sure, if something needs to be frequently trimmed with a string trimmer, then I'm going to think long and hard before choosing that path. I'd rather spend my time doing something productive like cutting firewood or watching a ballgame. I really like to be able to sit on my behind the whole time I'm cutting the grass.buckeyefarmer said:My experience with borders is they don't hold back the grass, and are a PITA to keep trimmed. I also go by the saying, if it can't be cut with the riding mower, it didn't need to be cut. :laughing: If you take a spade and shovel the edges back every year or two (like landscapers do), then you minimize the grass encroachment. Do it early in the spring when the ground is soft, it's real easy. If you wait till June or July, it's a lot harder. If you have straight edges on the flower beds, the FEL makes a nice edging tool.
