How many people use Concrete for there paver edging?

Before Plastic Paver edging material was sold on the market we always used redi-mix concrete. Cost is 3.50 a bag and will do 20'. I pack soil up to the edge of the pavers and run a compactor over them, then take an edging shovel and scrape away about 3" away and 1" under my soldier course. I then mix concrete and put it along the edge 1" below the top of the Pavers and tapering off to nothing, Making sure it goes under them also. My grade than goes right to the edge of the pavers. you never see that black Plastic. The other reason is I live in a very sandy area and have a problem with nails holding in sand. Sand does not hold nails or bed edging spikes.
