OK... followup question: What kind do you have, and is it any good?



Ours is a 100 year old gas powered Briggs and Stratton that was given to us.
A bit of blade sharpening was all it needed.

Tried the string trimmer method and the result was not neat enough to suit
my obsessive tendencies.
Tried a string trimmer attachment edger and it eventually balked at my St.
Augustine stolons.
Tried a straight-edged shovel and the husband made trenches instead of a
neat straight line.
Tried on of those half moon "step on it" manual edgers which worked quite
well until the handle rotted off.

The dedicated gas edger is really the way to go if you have tough grass and
want a perfectly neat, straight result. Which IMO is the whole point but
other folks aren't always so particular.
