Craftsman Push Weed Eater
I just spent over an hour using our push weed whacker (Craftsman calls it a weed EATER). I find this to be a two-for-one thing: good exercise and character-building both at one time.
‘Good exercise’ because nothing in our yard is flat. I’m either trying to get it to go uphill, fall in a hole, or hit rocks or a hard clump of weed that cause me to really work. I rested once outside, then did another hitch before coming in. I was really breathing hard, hot (it got to 90 degrees F. today!) and my hips were screaming.
‘Character-building’ because I worked harder than I would have normally because I really wanted to get the area I was working on DONE. I went all the way around my square foot garden perimeter, around the garden bins, around the shop propane tank, and the whole area beside the shop out to the garden.
I have a lot more weed whacking to do, but I’ll do the rest with one of our hand-held weed eaters.
Now my husband can run the gas out of this and put it away for the winter.
