New Garden equipment for your use
In article , Brooklyn1
wrote: ... My one reservation about Grass Stitcher is plastic teeth. The only Amazon review complains of them breaking. While I agree that $99 is not an astronomical sum these days, it is clearly above average for such manual tools and the use of plastic is perplexing. The company reps have explained to me that their special plastic is more suitable than metal. That metal was tried first and chipped or broke. Sure, but they must have used cheap metal. When I look at the best industrial practices---agricultural equipment, construction equipment, pruners, drills, etc., they all use metal rather than plastic---it just doesn't make sense. BTW, re Mantis, you mentioned the dethatching "attachment". So there is a main unit this attaches to. How much does that cost? Is it gas powered? My apologies, but I have no experience with anything but simple manual equipment. Does it make sense for an urban lawn_garden totaling no more than 1500 sq ft? |

I fear that you need to keep on Googling, and keep reading until, at least, the sites start to repeat themselves. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.democracynow.org/2010/7/2/maude http://english.aljazeera.net/video/m...515308172.html |
