Abstract
The present invention relates to an edging strip which is an integral elongated plastic member which is particularly adapted for being positioned in and on the ground to inhibit plant life from growing in a selected elongated narrow band. The edging strip includes an elongated ground cap which is adapted for positioning on an elongated narrow band of ground for shielding that ground to inhibit plant life from growing throughout, or over the cap. An elongated thin upright wall has one edge formed integral with the side of the cap which is adapted to be adjacent to the ground. The upright wall is coextensive with the cap. The upright wall is offset center from the cap so that the upright wall is closer to one edge of the cap than to the other. The edging strip includes a lip formed integral with the upright wall and extending toward the edge spaced away from the upright wall. The lip is perpendicular to and coextensive with the wall. The upright wall and integral lip are adapted to be buried in the ground beneath the cap, whereby the buried upright wall holds the cap against lateral movement relative to the ground and the lip holds the cap against vertical movement relative to the ground.
