Inexpensive edging

[2Bhumble]

I'm looking for some inexpensive edging to separate gravel from my lawn. It will be curved and I'd like to set it up so I can run the mower wheels right over it so there's no trimming later. However, it probably should be raised so the gravel won't get kicked into the lawn too much. I like the look of paver brick or the pre cast colored concrete that you can layout in a curve. Those two options can add up quickly ($$). Does anyone have any ideas for a good lawn/gravel separator that's not too expensive? I need about 200 feet.

Thanks.

Do you have a local dump or junk yard where people dump bricks or broken up concrete. Both can be partially buried to form a barrier. The bricks worl like pavers. Concrete can be painted. The concrete can be broken into smaller chunks- ranging from 4- 10 inches across. You can form almost a walkway pattern along the edge of the garden yet leave them about 1 to 2 inches exposed. There can be gaps in between and low sprawling plants like mother of thyme or moss can be planted in between the peices. If you mow at 3-4 inches tall the mother of thyme will barely be mowed and still grow and fill in. Just a suggestion.

Rhen-
That's an excellent suggestion, thanks!
