Concrete Mow Strip (Curb or Edging)
Needed a border between garden space and walkway. Casted a concrete edge using a modified rain gutter as a form. Steps will include equipment used, materials, modifying rain gutter, preparing for pour, preparing site and installation, and some trial and errors.
Equipment Used
Standard concrete mixing tools were used to mix concrete:
Hoe (to mix the concrete),
Flat shovel (to place concrete into form),
Wheelbarrow (to mix the concrete in, I have seen cheap kiddy pools used also),
Block Trowel (used only to cut into concrete bag) and
Water source.
Safety Equipment (Dust mask, safety goggles, gloves)
For modifying Rain Gutter:
Rotary tool (Not pictured here)
Safety equipment (Safety Glasses)
For preparing the work site:
Shovel
Tamper (not pictured).
