A soil erosion barrier that is configured to inhibit the erosion of soil on a sloped terrain. The soil erosion barrier includes a body that is planar in manner and manufactured from a flexible material. The body includes an upper edge and a lower edge wherein the lower edge is contoured towards opposing ends of the body with the greatest width of the body being at the midpoint thereof. A first connection member is integrally formed on one end of the body and a second connection member is integrally formed on the opposing end of the body. An aperture is formed through the body proximate the second end wherein the aperture further includes opposing slots that are parallel to the upper edge of the body. A slot is formed in the body proximate the midpoint and is further proximate the lower edge.

A block suitable for use in paving, edging or wall applications comprises a lower portion having parallel, substantially vertical side faces that are spaced apart by a first width, and an upper portion having parallel, substantially vertical side faces that are spaced apart by a second width. The second width is smaller than the first width of the lower portion, and the side faces of the upper portion are angled relative to the side faces of the lower portion. The block further comprises a transition portion between the upper and lower portions, having at least one slanted side extending between one or more sides of the lower portion and one or more sides, respectively, of the upper portion.

A double-sided root barrier has an inside channel formed on an inside surface. The inside channel is formed between the inside channel inside surface and the transition area inside surface. The transition area inside surface is formed at an angle to an outside channel inside surface. The outside channel inside surface is formed at an angle to the inside surface. An outside channel is formed on an outside surface, and the outside channel is formed between an outside channel outside surface and a transition area outside surface. The transition area outside surface is parallel to the transition area inside surface. The outside channel outside surface is parallel to the outside channel inside surface, and the transition area outside surface is formed at an angle to the inside channel outside surface.

This invention in various embodiments is a spike for use with landscape and paver edging. The spike may include a generally circular disk-shaped head and opposite from the head is a tip of the spike. The spike may include one or more features for securing the spike in place once installed with the edging product. Another feature according to various embodiments of this invention of the spike is an upper head stabilizer. The stabilizer may extend from the shaft to an underside of the head. In some embodiments, the stabilizer may be provided in discrete sections and positioned diametrically opposite from one another on the shaft and the undersurface of the head. The stabilizer may support the entire radial dimension of the head and is joined to the shaft.

A novel prefabricated garden box for use in growing plants with a raised bed, comprising a plurality of posts, beams, crossbeams, an inclined roof and slidably rigid transparent or translucent door(s). The enclosure includes multi-channel slidetracks and is fillable with soil and gravel under conditions that provide a suitable growing environment. The garden box, when fully assembled, rests on a ground surface or subgrade and may be preferably constructed to conform to dimensions suitable for shipping, packaging and transport before assembly by an end user/gardener.
