    I have no idea what the wife will want done this summer
    But last summer, She wanted Cement Curbing like we have in the front.
    Now she did not want to just call, and have it done1 To easy! As she wanted the same, as we have in the front's same shape. And it was not what she wanted. Sge never asks for much so I made some. So I had some extra fiberglass, and resin, from a Glass T/A hood.
    Used some old no name, Shorting she way back in the Panty, long forgotten.
    Got a well used paint brush, put that shortening on the extra block from the front. And layered the glass on it.
    After set up. " Popped it Off "
    Then got out some scrap, 2x6, and a small piece of plywood for the bottom Made a frame for the mold.
    At this point she was all giggles to the point that.... She grabbed a bag o cement for 2 bucks something in her Honda Civic trunk
    I poured water in the mold, and then into a bucket, Marked that line with a black marker. That was the amount to mix for one block. No watse
    A quick coat of painted on Shorting on the mold, and a that amount mixed. A spare 5 gallon paint paddle to smooth the top off.
    And wait a day! Next day we had one new Edging!
    Then every day 12-15 min from start to done and one more
    Think we make 40 something "one a days" My neighbor called them One a days and the name stuck

    One bag cement did almost 3 blocks. I think she wants some more. To out around that large Canary Island Date Palm. she put some around the small one already by herself 100%. The large tree It won't be many, but will all have to be cut to make the shape. She just knows it is cheap to do and takes no time to make one. She made lots of that pile you see.

    as far as that tree everyone said it was toast! But it did great, after dumping 4 feet of dirt on it
