It would be quite angular. Also the curves are not symmetrical across the garden. I think sleepers would look a bit strange.

I suspect quite a few years. Happy to replace with posts, and I don't mind spending, it's the removal of the existing posts that's my biggest issue. It's a back garden and I can't get a mini digger in there

Unfortunately I cannot get a mini digger into the back garden

Hi All Your advice would be appreciated. My garden has a bank which has been edged with fencing posts, probably when the house was built 26 years ago or soon after. Some have rotted and I am looking to replace the edging in it's entirety or with something similar. The bank is not a straight edge, there are several curves, which is presumably one of the reasons why fence posts were used. Fence posts have also been used to edge the borders and 'lawn' (green expanse of moss). At their highest they are I guess 18" to 24" high, but they vary in height as the bank slopes to the lawn. At the lawn they protrude a couple of inches. I want to retain the curves so my idea is to replace the posts with something similar. I suspect it is not easy to extract the existing posts, and I also expect most will break under the soil - there are quite a lot of them. Any thoughts on how to extract them and what to replace them with?

Some have rotted and I need to replace them either like for like or with something similar - so I am very interested in any advice. I will post a more detailed thread in the Landscaping forum.
