This thread had me checking out the Echo Bed re-definer and ultimately we picked one up today. Using it this afternoon has impressed me. It is only good for edging previously edged beds but the time I saved on my first spring re-edging of existing beds was incredible. What normally took 2 of us 4 hours to hand edge with a spade took me only about 35 minutes with the echo. I have to admit a hand spaded edge is nicer looking but most people wouldn't notice the difference unless the 2 methods were side by side to compare. The labour savings alone will pay for this tool withing a month. This is a machine I would recommend to anyone that has a lot of bed re-edging to do.
