Elderly lady needs your advice about weed cutters
wrote:
Hello you all,
I am an elderly lady and I am looking for a weed cutter or weed eater
but none of these electrical. They scare the hell out of me. I am
looking for a mechanical one.
In the past, I used a grass shear to cut certain area of my lawn but
they are like scissors and I have to stand up and go down and stand up
and go down and that makes me often groggy.
I would like something with a long handle that I don't have to go on
my knees all the time.
I am not the strongest person, so, l the weed cutter should not be
that heavy. But of course I still can hold a broom.
I found some links and would like to know if any of you know these
tool and how difficult they are to operate.
Have a look he

Is there any you would recommend? And how strong do you have to be to
operate them? Do you think a 72 old lady can carry one of these and
use one of these?
I thank you in advance for your advice.
Helen
I have an old weed whip type that I've used for years but with weeds
like dandelions you need to dig up roots. For them, you are better to
use a spray herbicide or the root digger with the long handle.
