wishes along yesterday as I wrote about her
Birthday present!
If you read yesterday's blog you already
know I got her the Weed Trimmer she
wanted.
You'll also recall the unit is know by a
couple different names. Weed Whacker,
Weed Trimmer, and one I didn't mention,
"Weed Clipper."
After one day of use we've come to
believe the "Clipper" moniker best fits
this device!
It has clipped our tall grass, our weeds,
and our wallets!
Seems the "string" that rotates at high
speed to rip through the grass and weeds
is just a few inches long and disintegrates
on impact with rocks, bricks, and the like.
My wife went through the cartridge that
came with the unit and one replacement
pack just going over our small yard.
Additional replacement packs run
about nine dollars each and, at that rate,
this could be a very expensive summer!
She opted to try to restring the
cartridges herself. Of course she does
have occasional trouble distinguishing
right from left and clockwise with
counterclockwise so we'll have to wait
a bit to see if the Trimmer cuts the
weeds or Whacks the handler!
I wonder how much a goat would
cost? Or maybe some weed killer?
Hope your lawn is neat and all your
NEWS is good!
