Prevent cut grass / grass cuttings going onto gravel border

[sairejayne]

When I mow my lawn how can I prevent the cuttings from going onto the gravel border.
Thanks

Why not put a strip of polythene along the edge? You can but this from garden centres, and then just sweep it up...easy!

Yeah good idea thanks, I will try this. I was using some old sheets down the edge, but had a nasty accident where it got caught up and wrapped around blade - gravel everywhere!

How about standing on the gravel bit and strimming away from you, round the edges of the lawn. Then your mower can collect the spent grass when you go over it?

Thanks, but I have got a flymo hover mower and just going over the grass normally sends it flying everywhere!
