NEW! BedBug Landscape Edger

With this machine, edging beds is a breeze. You can define an area to an adjustable depth of 2″ - 4″ in as long as it takes you to walk the distance backwards. The BedBug will plow a straight edge with the rear wheels locked and with the wheels unlocked you can create a gently curved bed. Do a morning’s work in half an hour and save yourself the blisters.

Just lower the blade, walk backwards, and you have an edged bed!
