placing a concrete edging around raised fower bed

9 years ago

I am planting a flower bed for a friend in Pittsburgh which is at the top of a steep slope with solid rock underneath. I'm planning to add soil to the garden to make it more level. My question is since I can't really dig a trench to place the edging in because of the rocks can I dig a trench in the new soil and place the edging in there and how would I keep it in place?

The new soil won't hold the edging in place. You'd need to show a picture of the situation if you want brainstorming.
