Good morning all,
Thanks to everyone who got back to me with advice on battery
Ed, why not compromise and get an electric trimmer. My wife uses one
and loves it. Works on outdoor extensions cords, very well.

I have one, it works well and holds a charge that gets me through the

Happy trimming!

I have to agree, I have not known anyone to have a battery-operated
trimmer that was worth its weight. Interestingly some of the newer
battery-operated mowers seem to do well I gather. Not sure they'd do
well in my yard since we do need a self-propelled mower for my wife

I don't know of any good battery powered models yet. In order to gain the
extra run time the battery is going to have to weigh a good bit and if starting
a gas unit is hard, think of lugging a big battery around the yard.
The best weight to power will come in the electric models. Of course y

I thought I was buying weed and feed, but can't locate it on line.

Hi Carl,
It's called, Scotts 4 step program. you can't go wrong with it. One tip that
i can't stress enough, make sure you put the Scotts applications down at the
same time each year. Just like a healthy Human being, you must nourish the
lawn properly in order to get that desired dreamy look.

Carl, If your lawn is thin over seeding might be needed. Check with your
local farm supply or hardware store to see what type of grass does best in
your area. If your lawn is full of weeds and other undesirable plants you
might want to consider using a weed and feed application.

Hi all,
I absolutely hate doing anykind of yard work but I do like the
appearance of a well edged lawn. I remember, when I could still see,
that a well-edged lawn always made a property look so much cleaner
and appealing. Has anyone ever used a gas-powered lawn edger with
any real success?
