Edging along an over-seeded cool season lawn


What’s everyone’s method? Got a lot of baby shoots along the edge. String trimmer just to attack the existing over growth onto the concrete without venturing into the true edge?

Last year, I took the edge trimmer to everything about this time and the spring green up struggled next to the concrete areas.

This is a Midwest salad mix. Probably not a single cool season grass not in it. It’s seen all of them.

    I do string trimmer year round, don’t own an edger

    Yea I’d do exactly as you suggested: light-handed haircut with a string trimmer without digging into the true edge. I think soil disruption here is what you want to avoid.

    I’d just leave it for a couple of weeks, my lawn is always tight as fuck on the edges so my neighbors know if it’s shaggy there’s a reason.

    Midwest salad mix is the perfect way to describe all the diff methods and seeds I’ve bought

    I’d just use an edger. String trimmer on its side is way too easy to fuck up
