This has been my approach.........
If we are creating new beds for a new planting.....I'll paint the outline....then go through with an edger......as in a Mclane, Little Wonder.....Sod cut the interior....I own a sod cutter.
If it is an existing planting but no formal beds.........I go through with the edger to establish the line......then spade cut under the vegetative material......cultivate the soil.....and in both instances when done.....spade the edge nice and clean.
To maintaine.........it is SOP for my area to do weekly bed maintenance while doing weekly service......pull weeds, cultivate and spade the edge.
I don't own a bed shapping machine......our method to first install a bed or bed line works well for us...........and I am not spending $ on a machine that is so selective in use
