Scalloped lawn edging tiles (Grandpont OX1)
These tiles are approx 22cm x 22cm x 2.5cm thick and are (I'm guessing) old. I have enough for half my garden and would love to be able to finish the job by re-using rather than buying new. Has anyone got any spare please? I reckon another 30-50 would do the job, and any contributions welcome. Many thanks.

These are 10-15 years old and haven't been used for a long time. I've checked the manufacturer's website, it says they can last indefinitely and can be transferred to another person after a short break. I have 3, 2 with laces. If you want to try them you're welcome, I make no claims about their effectiveness.
