Default Plastic Strip Lawn Edging

From the poundshop.
Two words: "just don't".
I put this stuff on my lot last summer, and now it is disintegrating into about a million gazillion pieces. Total carp.
I'm gradually replacing it with wine bottle edging, and hoping it will trap solar energy and warm up my beds quicker. Hic
