Aldi has just dropped a bargain buy that’s already flying off shelves.
The retailer’s $19.99 metal garden edging arrived in stores as part of its Special Buys on Wednesday, and fans are rushing in to buy it before it sells out.
Available in charcoal, grey or green, the edging is made from anti-rust, colour-bonded steel. Each pack includes a 6m x 150mm roll and comes with two seals to neatly finish the ends.
Designed to be both practical and durable, it gives garden beds and lawns a polished look without the hefty price tag usually associated with garden edging.
Why Aldi’s metal garden edging is trending
At under $20, Aldi’s Gardenline metal edging is an affordable DIY option for anyone wanting to tidy up their garden this spring.
It works on curvy garden beds too
The steel edging can be installed around garden beds, paths, or lawns to create a defined and visually appealing area. Because it’s flexible, it works just as well for straight lines as it does for curved beds.
For best results, install it in moist soil, making it easier to shape. Once in place, it helps keep lawns from creeping into beds while giving your garden a clean, defined edge.
The benefits of garden edging
Garden edging isn’t just about creating a tidy look. A defined border keeps grass runners from creeping into your flower beds and stops mulch and soil from washing onto paths or lawns after heavy rain.
It also makes mowing and trimming easier, as the edging gives you a neat line to work with.
DIY tips for installing edging
If you’re planning to install edging this weekend, a few simple tricks can make the process smoother. Start by working with softened soil, either after rain or by watering the ground, so it’s easier to dig. Cut a shallow trench with a spade before inserting the edging to help guide it into place.
For curved beds, unroll the edging in the sun first. The warmth will make the steel more flexible and easier to shape.
To finish the job neatly, secure the ends with the included seals to keep the border in place.
While stocks last
Like most of Aldi’s Special Buys, this one won’t stick around for long. Stores are already reporting low stock, and once it’s gone, there’s no telling when it will be back.
