Wine bottles, neck down, buried 2/3 of their depth are surprisingly robust and attractive too

What an interesting idea  :) problem is we only generate about two a year.  ::)

I've seen this a couple of times - I just can't get over the feeling that glass and soil are just an accident waiting to happen.

If you want an afternoon out Jamie pop down your local reclamation yard, they used to make some nice rope topped edging tiles, you can probably still see them in houses from around the turn of the century.

edit..

A quick google later

That would certainly be the problem for many people...

I have to say I agree with this. For some reason, from long ago, there's a lot of broken glass in our garden which keeps coming up the way pebbles do, its so dangerous. :(

The straight edging stone would be another option, which we use elsewhere in our garden between pebbly walkway and lawn, although the rope one is more decorative. I also note from a quick google that you can still buy the rope edging stone new.
