Anyone have experience with landscape bed shapers...?
Every year I get out there with my foot and flat shovel and edge my flower beds. They are huge, I spread about 240 sq. ft of mulch every year. It takes me pretty solid day and a half to edge, I am particular about doing things right. My rental center has a trench master bed edger for rent. Do these work as well or better than my shovel? Any tips? I am comfortable using the equipment, I have run aerators, slit-seeders, etc in past.
Trench master is a brand name...
A bed edger is different than an edger that goes along your driveway or side walk. It goes deeper and wider and rolls the dirt into the bed or collects it in a bin.
I don't know exactly what a "trench master" is (brand name)?... but if it is a standard, motorized, bladed, lawn edger 3 hp. or better, it will do just fine. This is the best piece of equipment to use as far as cutting the edges on bed areas as well as along driveways and walkways. As you cut a clean edge off of the turf along the beds, you can come back with either a square shovel or a hoe and remove the strip of edged turf. You should be able to do a very large yard in about 30 min to 45 min. depending on the severity of the needed cut. If it is already rather clean, you should be able to whip through it in no time at all. The only muscle you will use is in your legs, and that is to just to walk it along while it cuts. If you had your own edger, you could do it every time before you mow. They aren't that expensive and you should look into buying one so it will always be at the ready when needed. Hope this answers your question...
Might this be the "trench master" you speak of? If it is, it will do a fast, speedy, and clean job.
