I used to use a spade but it isn't a clean cut and always turns into a big job so looking for alternatives...
Ideas wold be appreciated.

Yes a half moon lawn edger is what you need. I have wasted lots of money on various lawn edging materials but a tiny ditch works best. Cut straight down on the lawn side with the half moon spade and 45 degree on the border side. That gives a crisp edge and stops the grass invading the border.
Fab thanks, blairs, I was tempted by the other gadget but it was so expensive I thought I'd ask on here.
Hello - ive only ever used long handled edging shears. Is the half moon lawn edged better?
Yes gardeninglily - they are sharp and give straight lines.
You should only need to use a half moon edger once a season - otherwise you will keep cutting the grass away. Once the edges have been cut at the beg. of the season using the half moon, use a long handled edging shears after every cut of the grass to clip the edge. Or if you are lazy like me, every second cut.
Thanks thats helpful...
My lawn areas have got smaller and smaller and birders bigger and bigger over the years - they'll be non-existent if I buy a half moon
so.... already on my tool wish list for this season are fiskar secateurs and a half moon edger.
