A garden edge spike comprising:
- a tapered spike portion having a lower spike which has a top end and a bottom end, a platform section located at the top end of the lower spike, and disposed in a plane transverse to the lower spike, and an upper upright C-shaped portion located at the top end of the lower spike and extending circumferentially away from the platform section, the upper upright C-shaped portion having a plurality of grooves that is circumferentially spaced apart along an outer circumferential edge thereof;
- and
- a removable holder, the removable holder having a holding portion including plural flanges, and a coupling portion having a female portion with a plurality of grooves, wherein the female portion slideable engages one or more of the plurality of grooves of the upper upright C-shaped portion, to position the removable holder on the upper upright C-shaped portion.
A method for installing a lighting apparatus using at least one garden edge spike comprising:
- a tapered spike portion having a lower spike which has a top end and a bottom end, a platform section located at the top end of the lower spike, and disposed in a plane transverse to the lower spike, and an upper upright C-shaped portion located at the top end of the lower spike and extending circumferentially away from the platform section, the upper upright C-shaped portion having a plurality of grooves that is circumferentially spaced apart along an outer circumferential edge thereof;
- and
- a removable holder, the removable holder having a holding portion including plural flanges, and a coupling portion having a female portion with a plurality of grooves, wherein the female portion slideable engages one or more of the plurality of grooves of the upper upright C-shaped portion, to position the removable holder on the upper upright C-shaped portion,
- which the method comprises the steps of:
- (a) impacting or pushing the at least one garden edge spike to bury at least a portion of the tapered spike portion of the garden edge spike into the ground, and
- (b) attaching the lighting apparatus to the at least one garden edge spike.
