best how to video i have ever seen...thanks mucho much!
Very easy to follow video thanks Tony, how do I make the dry mix mate
you need to show what it looks like when complete.
What a dipshit never shows the finished job
That's a lot of concrete for a simple row of brick. I feel bad for the homeowners if/when they want to enlarge the beds and have to break all of that out. Unless of course they wanted bombproof edging, in which case, great job!
you didn't show us what it looks like at the end I bloody hate that watching a video and then not seeing the f**** end result
Finally a good video on laying garden edging. Nice detail, step by step. Even though its not exactly the topic I was looking for, it still gave me an idea on how to proceed. Thanks!
so what's going to stop the blocks from sinking? the dry concrete at the bottom? will it harden too at the bottom?
- that's not edging, that's more like a curb.
Hi Tony, great tutorial!Could you give me a rough idea of how much of the 4:1 mix I'd need to bed a line of single blocks (as in vid) either side of an existing slabbed garden path 14m in length. So 28m in total? From the vid, it looked like 4 shovels per 4-5 blocks, but I've no idea how big your shovel is! 😄
This is an excellent video. Thank you.
Can this be curved?
tony, im suprised you dont use a cement slurry bridging bond these days. no need to haunch, faster and superior strength

The paving expert website says to use cement? is there a big difference?

Nice looking work. I cringe when I see people tapping on their levels though.
