I have an old spade that belonged to my Dad, it doesn't have much curve at all and is quite sharp maybe with years of use and sharpening . They don't make them like that these days

Re: Lawn edging.
I have brick edging in most of the garden where we have grass and I use long-handled shears designed for this so I can cut right up to the upright bricks - a half-moon edger's no good in my garden for lawn edging except where there's no bricks but it only takes minutes.I don't really like strimmers so I don't have one at home but at work we have a Stihl and I need it! stevmk2

Re: Lawn edging.
Maybe we could have a lawn edging competition with commentary.Stevmk2 is in the lead with the long handled shears, Rachel and mart are doing a great job with the half-moon edgers. But wait! Meg is racing ahead with the sharp straight-edged spade!! A definite contender here. Ah but if MKJ comes along with a strimmer, this could spell real trouble for the edger and spade users...
Well, something like that.
