    Every summer, my garden edging shifts out of place, making my carefully arranged borders look messy. I spent hours installing the edging last spring, but the combination of heat and dry soil seems to loosen it. I’ve tried pressing it back in, but it just moves again after a few weeks. Heavy rain followed by intense sun only makes the problem worse. I want a solution that keeps my edging secure without constant maintenance. Should I use a different material, or is there a better way to install it? How can I keep my garden edging from shifting in summer?

    I had the same issue with my garden edging moving every summer, and it was frustrating. What worked for me was securing it with deeper stakes and compacting the soil firmly around it. I also switched to a more durable material that could withstand temperature changes. Adding a layer of mulch along the border helped stabilise the edging too. Since making these adjustments, my garden borders have stayed in place through heatwaves and storms.
