Default Problems with String Trimmer

I use an insanely sharp scythe for the whole lawn as well as trimming.

It has to be a hobby to do the whole lawn with one, but trimming is
not out of the question, except they're kind of expensive.

www.scythesupply.com has the right kind but the ``kit'' will run
you something under $200.

Get the large anvil and cross peen hammer and fine stone (you see
complications already coming up) so that peening leaves the blade
sharp rather than, like the jig, dull. Peen excessively, for grass,
is the secret, and hone often.

It's not like there's a rush. You're out of the house because you
want to be out of the house.
