Dilemma! Cut this tree root or cut the Everedge?

    Can't you just spin the Everedge so the join is either side of the root and then just have a break in the edging? No need to cut either then. If it was the UK I'd say chop the root but it's a drier climate there and that root may have found a good source of moisture.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Well the deed isn’t done yet... something like this do you mean @wild edges?


    It’s far easier to bend it than cut it, that’s for sure and if I folded back a short section either side of the root that would help with stability of the edging.

    That's the kind of thing. I don't know if they do special corner pieces or stop ends that could be used instead of bending it but that would work.

    I wasn’t initially keen to break the run but it’s certainly a good solution, @wild edges and better than attempting to cut a hole in it. No, they don’t do corner pieces, you are just meant to bend it using a straight edge to form corners. I will check tomorrow and see if I have enough length to do it and still get to the end.

    I'd suggest neither. You can bend Everedge. I would bend back the ofessive section and hammer the fold flat. Then begin the edging again on the other side of the root. I've done that with mine and it worked well.

    Well I went for the chop in the end folks, I had been ‘efficient’ and ordered exactly the 16m quantity required, so even a bit of bending and shaping around the root would have left me short. Will let you know of the tree is still standing next year  :)

  • if you haven't already, I'd cut the root. You'll probably find you see no difference in the tree.
