    In most places around the garden I've used sunken stones but I don't think it'll work here. So far I've just edged with a shovel, I've seen another garden use some sort of metal. Any suggestions?

    Make the bed bigger (out to the left) and edge with sunken stones.

    Yeah, was thinking that. I wondered though whether another line of stone would look too much, even though I love that effect. Here's a one I did yesterday - is that the style you were thinking of?

    Yeah like that. It will be much easier to keep tidy. I love the look of it. Might try it myself

    Amazing space but those beds will take a lot of work to keep weed-free unless you use membrane and mulch of some sort.

    Yeah, I know! We had wood clippings there before but they get blown all over the place (can get windy up here)!
