I am edging an area that has no grass. To make the edge into a straight line, I have to pull up about 6 inches of grass for about 40 feet. Right now, I am using a garden hoe. But it is slow and tedious. Any other suggestions?

Go to your local rental yard and get yourself a sod cutter.its gas powered it will cut the grass from under and you can roll up the grass after

why edge an area that already has no grass ? do you mean you are gleaning or removing all the grass from a 6" x 40' area? use a hog nose shovel,, aka square edged,, to first cut a line on both sides of your gleaning area, then cut under the grass about an inch or 2 under the ground. transfere it to a composter or transplant it into a place where you need it, and replace the removed dirt and grass with made seedless compost or bagged potting soil..

If you want to pull up some grass, just let it dry for some time and then get a nice piece of newspaper and roll the drass in it. Let it set for a day then smoke that motha' like there's no tomorrow!!! wooo-hooo...

get the area wet with a hose first, let it set for a little while, and then it will pull up a lot easier If you have a square nosed shovel, you can make your straight line easier with that, too.

Go to the local garden store and get a "hand cutter" for sod it will greatly simplify your job.
