Lawn Edging- It can be as simple as cutting a narrow empty space between the garden and your yard. Or, can be a more permanent material that you use with there being a wide range of products and materials available. Select one that works for your style, your budget and can be easily installed. Remember, all lawn edging products need to penetrate the soil by at least 5-10cms to ensure that the grass roots are contained and to prevent them from spreading underneath the edge and into the garden bed. The benefits include

1.      Add another design element to your garden landscaping with edging.
2.      Prevent your yard from spreading into garden beds.

Popular lawn edging materials include concrete, rock, timber sleepers, block raised garden wall, recycled plastic edging, aluminum edging and galvanized steel edging.

Water Sources for Yards:
There are a variety of water sources to choose from, but which is the best one for your yard can be difficult to assess.

Natural Rainfall- This is absolutely perfect for yards- free, often abundant but unpredictable.

Recycled Water- It is great for yards where it is available.

Water Tank Water- This is also great with the only limitation being the holding capacity and unpredictable rainfall.

Deep Bore Water- Although it is great, you will need to analyze the water for mineral and salt content.

Shallow Bore Water- Apart from salt content, the water should also be analyzed for E.coli, fluoride, nitrate and arsenic levels.

Grey Water- Everything is good but just make sure to use detergents that are low in sodium and phosphorous.

Natural Spring Water- Again, you will have to check for the mineral and salt content.

Dam Water- You’ll have to consider a filter in the pump if suspended solids can be found.

River Water- Keep an eye on the salt content of the water.

Regardless of the water source for your lawn, embed this thing in your head that all lawns should be watered deeply but infrequently. Aim for the entire area of your lawn receiving no more than 2.5cms of water per week. Water the lawn deeply and gently a few times a week in order to encourage the lawn health which should be done in keeping the latest temperature and rainfall in mind.
