    @amancalledgeorge , @Fire ,@micearguers, May i ask if any anyone is using Everedge to mow over? as i am considering using it for this purpose.

    @Meomye I use to it edge my borders rather than the lawn; the lawn dips into a small trench running along the everedge. So I need to do the lawn edge with shears (it's a pretty wild lawn, full of clover, self-heal, daisies and yarrow). That said, if one edges the lawn and the everedge is near soil level I don't see why you couldn't mow over it.

    I use Everedge to create a small raised border. It has worked better than I could ever have imagined. (Thanks to feedback from this forum). But I have no grass, so cannot advise on that.
  • Our lawn is abutting the bed that is edged with Everedge. It's higher than the lawn so it's easy to mow...at least that's what my partner tells me as the grass is his job 😉 wish we'd edged the rest of it instead of leaving a gap between the lawn and the brick path which ahs to be edged by hand...but we had spent already enough on the hard landscaping to make it possible.

    @Meomye, I installed 17m partly straight but mainly curved everedge between a border and the ‘lawn’ (rough grass). I planned to mow it but ended up cutting the edges with shears as it’s tricky to manoeuvre the mower around the curves without lopping off half of the border edging plants. Also my rough grass is pretty wayward and the stalky bits flop over into the border too much and didn’t cut well. If you had a well-sown, even lawn I’m sure it would be easier.

    I found it easy enough to install and bend. The Everedge lengths are slightly shorter than those of it’s rival Core Edge, the latter works out slightly better value. Only EE had a distributor over here, otherwise I would have gone for CE.
