A home improvement store has so many choices for that hard to find one particular home improvement item that it can be confusing which one to choose. The internet sometimes has it all set up in a neat web page, but I’ll take a few minutes to make it clear which is the best hedge trimmer for my home.
The best hedge trimmer is probably the $20 hedge trimmer that came with your Home Depot, but I recommend something more modern. I have a very large garden, and I think I spend way too much on weed killers. Instead of buying an expensive hedge trimmer, I think I’d be happier with a weed whacker that fits into my back pocket.
I have never used a “weed whacker,” but I am familiar with weed killers. A weed whacker is basically a heavy duty garden fork with different blades. It can be used to break up clumps of weeds as well as cut them up. It is a great tool for getting rid of leaves and other small branches that tend to get in the way of cutting or trimming.
The Weed Whacker I just described is the classic example of an old-fashioned weed-killer. In the early days of the weed-killing field, these guys were called “blad-knives” and they were made of a sharp, heavy duty blade that would slice up the pesky weeds and leaves you couldn’t get at with a hand fork.
Today we have a whole new breed of weed-killers. The newer ones are basically just a blade with a rotating spool in it for catching weeds that get in your way of cutting. You twist these around until you get the right angle, then the weed is sucked up and pushed down into the spool. You can use this to cut up your leaves and other small bushes that get in the way of cutting or trimming.
Yes, it’s a new kind of weed-killer. What’s it good for? Well, it’s supposed to cut through the leafy foliage that the leaf-cutter’s leaf-gathering blades arent designed for. You will get a shock when you cut through the leafy foliage, but theres no damage to your hand.
Its an old style weed-killer, and i dont think this is going to cut through the leafy foliage of the weed or shrub that’s in the way. Its a quick way to use the cutter to get the right angle without damaging your hand.
The thing is that sometimes the right angle of the knife leaves the blade at an angle that does not cut through the tree. The “right angle” means that if you use a right angle, the cutter will slice the tree. The “too sharp” makes the tree fall over and that is not a good thing. So the “thick part” of the knife is the part that makes the tree fall over, and the “thin part” is the part that cuts through the tree.
I used to tell my dad to make sure the handle of his hedge trimmer was flush with the ground so as to avoid any sharp edges. My dad always laughed at me saying that, but I’m glad he did. I wonder what he would have thought about all the people who say they use hedge trimmers to trim hedges.
This is a popular myth that we have all heard at least once. While it’s true that you can use a hedge trimmer to trim hedges, there are many reasons why you should not do so…
