How do you determine how many feet of edging you need?

A measuring wheel is the quickest and easiest way to measure for how much edging you will need. If you don’t have access to a measuring wheel, you can always use a rope or a hose that you know the length of. Lay out the design of the bedding area, and lay the rope or hose along the projected bedding area and count the number of lengths you need. For example: if you have a 25′ hose and laid out a design that takes 3 lengths of your hose to reach the end, you are looking for approximately 75′ total for your project.
