IMHO I think that whatever means of markings you can come up with is fine as long as the end result is what you are striveing to acheive.

I have used garden hoses, spray paint, string, rope w/ 12" landscape spikes, etc., etc., etc.

I personally like to use lime in a chalk bottle and then spot mark my archs and staright lines for edging. The TrenchMaster takes away all markings and we dont have to worry about removing paint if we try to adjust the bed designs.

I went to Home Depot and bought an upside down paint marker handle. The paint can mounts in the end and you can spray the paint without bending down. I use this thing all of the time. You can buy the upside down marking paint anywhere.

Gary Allen uses that too!:D

He must be doing something right, he has his own show.

I've seen him use a water hose before I think.
