Free Garden Edge Materials

Most of my garden beds started out without an edge.

In fact, most of them still are, like the one below.
It is only covered with mulch which consist of cut grass and some dried leaves.

Sometimes I use tree trunks and branches as a garden edge.

I also use portulaca and other low-growing creepers to act as an edge.

The above are 2 Garden Pest Controllers sniffing the garden edge for my red sugar cane patch.

Coconut husks, wooden planks and rocks are the other materials that I use as garden edges.

All these materials are easily available here and for free too!
I love the natural look of these materials.
I have a not-so-natural item which is a used car tyre.
It is almost completely hidden in the first photo as I grew the plants inside and around it.

How do you edge your garden beds?

Fer from My Garden in Japan is hosting a World Garden Carnival with the topic 'New Year Gardening Resolutions.'
One of mine would be to continue to look out for new garden edging materials which are easily obtainable.
Head over to  My Garden in Japan for the links to interesting 2011 Gardening Projects all over the world.

This is also my Fertilizer Friday submission where flaunting of flowers and weekly fertilizing are encouraged.
Thanks to Tootsie of Tootsie Time for the opportunity to flaunt my flowers.

p.s. Diana of Kebun Malay-KadazanGirls, See the sunflowers plants next to the yellow cosmos in the last collage? Those are from the seeds you sent. They will be flowering soon. Yippee!
