Does something like this exist

[PeoplesElbow]

I'm looking for a solid 1 piece plastic or metal ring that I could put around my hostas fill up with dirt and then put rock around them. Slices of 2ft black PVC pipe would be perfect.

Something like this must exist but I sure can't find it. I searched for bush ring, not at all what I was looking for......

What do you mean, like a decorative border for the hostas?

Not necessarily decorative, something to keep the dirt in and the rock out. I want a 2ft circle of humped up dirt surrounded by rock.

We bought metal tree rings at Lowes, how many sections you used determined the size of the circle.. Three sections made for about a 2 foot diameter ring

Tire Blossoms made from small motorcycle or trailer tires...

2" ABS pipe from Lowes should do it and be cheap.

That is what I was thinking, but I am not sure I can cut rings from it that look nice, too big for the miter saw and table saw, not sure I want to sent plastic through my bandsaw or that if it would even give a good even cut.

I am looking for something closed, no seams.

Bandsaw (if you have a fence) or even a table saw if the pipe end against the fence and rotate over the blade.

There will be plastic shavings everywhere but it'll be a clean cut. Maybe take a small file and hit the inside and outside edges to de-burr them.

The hostas should hide them pretty well when grown.

Actually, what I did was take a plastic flower pot and cut the bottom out. Then I slipped it over the plant. Worked great. Been there at least 5 years.

Will it really matter when the deer eat them down to ground level? Happens every year to ours.

Most times when you cut plastic flip the blade around backwards and it will slice the plastic vers cuting chunks.
No difference if its a miter, circular, table or bandsaw. If you watch guys that do vinyl sideing with a delta sawbuck the carbide wood blade is running backwards.

I've cut plexiglass before and have had pretty decent luck using a blade with a negative rake angle, still isnt my favorite thing to do.

I want my dirt circles to look good in a sea of river rock.

With sheet plastics like plexi, acrylics, HDPE, UHMW and others I have a 8' metal shear...
With flipping the blade around you elimate blowouts, shattering among other problems......

We use Liquid Fence. Works great if you keep up with applications.

Have you considered a toilet ring?
