    As the title says I'm looking for a strong edger, I've managed to snap 2 already! Don't have a huge budget but want quality. Thanks

    A spade and a plank! Works for me.
    Are you wriggling the edger that they break or is your ground so hard and stony?

    The ground's really stony and is riddled with weeds unfortunately, think I might try the spade - nor too worried about straight lines!

    Do you have an old pair of shears? Opening them slightly, jabbing them into the ground and closing them every few inches is tedious but works for me.

    There is a shop in Santry called Dealz, they have bamboo edging at €1.49 a meter. Think its about 200mm high.

    That bamboo and willow screening from Dleaz is great for making bee nests and ladybird nests and homes though.;)

    Have 3 willow nests around the garden for the bees and ladybirds.:D
