My Stihl hasnt been needed in years, I roundup around everything then burn it black a few weeks later. What did everyone do before String trimmers came out maybe 25 years ago, use a herbicide and burn, it saves money and alot of weekly time.

Edgers, yes there are units with metal blades specifically for edging but nothing that I know of that really replaces the string trimmer for trimming around beds and trees. The alternative used to be hand trimmers or a good hoe.

I'm wondering how he burns things that are right up against the foundation of his house.

Certainly. I recall using a "golf club" style trimmer years ago, basically just a double sided V notched blade at the bottom you just swung back and forth. Very simple, inexpensive and not particularly strenuous to use either.

Well, we're way past it, but OUR teenagers (years ago) didn't refuse to do chores unless they wanted to sit at home on the weekend.

Do you know a good hoe? I sure could use one!
Mine got busted last week, it looks like she's getting 30 days.

Sound like it works pretty well so why did you stop using it?

I got a Shindaiwa T270 that will do truly scary things like going through a 2" dia tree in a fraction of a second with a brush blade on it. It's also faster when trimming long areas and can trim up directly against a foundation which the golf club type can't quite do.

There are wheeled string trimmers. The DR Trimmer is probably the best of that lot.

Great when you have lots of trimming, very heavy trimming, slopes, around ponds, etc. With their chainsaw style blade accessory it will cut through 3-4" dia saplings.

Would it actually be possible to "mow" with such a device if the yard is small?
