ideas for cheap garden lawn edging please?

We have quite a large garden with curvy flower beds. We have just laid weed suppressent fabric and Bark but need a lawn edging. Any ideas for cheap, unusual or recycled lawn edgings please

Homebase, B&Q and Dobbies all do a cheap green plastic corrogated edging product.

I use this to keep a neat edge between the lawn and beds and after planting I fill the beds with bark. If you let the grass grow over it very slightly it is not visible, and keeps a sharp edge without ever having to re-shape it. If you don’t use a hover mower, you will probably have to use edging scissors to keep it neat.

I used to use fabric too, but I don’t think it’s worth it. It makes the soil all flat and stale (I even got big fungus growing from underneath it), it also looks bad when it shows through. I think it’s better just to put bark straight onto the soil, if you use enough bark this suppresses most weeds except the occasional few.
