Overgrown weeds do not only make the eyes sore, they also make you want to get physical and pull them out of your precious garden in a rage. You have spent hours trying to make your garden weed-free and suffered an aching back as a result and only to look at it the next week to find that green mess is in your territory once again. You need the help of a weed eater or string trimmer for that.
Machines really are helpful tools. For a clean and crisp garden, you need the aid of a specially invented tool that uses nylon to snip and cut grass for a properly manicured lawn. Utilize a weed trimmer and get rid of those stubborn weeds quickly and easily, minus the back pains that you have come to anticipate every time you cut the weeds in your garden.
The weed eater uses nylon in high-speed movement to cut grass. What’s saying it cannot cut through human flesh? It is only prudent to follow precautions and wear safety items when using a weed eater or any tools, gardening or other. Check your safety gears. They must include the following:
1. Gloves. Using them protects your hands and prevents the development of calluses. They also help to get that firm and stable grip when using the weed eater.
2. Ear plugs. The loud noise from the weed eater may impair hearing after long-term use without protection for your ears.
3. Dusk mask. You need this to keep from inhaling grass and dirt while working.
4. Safety glasses. To protect your eyes from cut grass and small objects that may jump at you due to the high-speed motion of the nylons in the weed eater; you need your safety glasses at hand.
5. Proper clothing. Wear something that would protect as much skin as possible. Closed shoes and long pants are particularly useful in this case.
When you have all your safety gears on, it is time to lose those weeds. Follow these steps on how to safely and successfully use your weed eater.
1. Read your weed eater’s manual and make sure to know its nylon’s direction when trimming. You will find an arrow there for your guide. When starting your weed eating, it must be away from you and not lying on the ground to prevent injury to you and accidental bald spots in your lawn.
2. You may want to keep that weed eater from being too low or close to the ground to avoid over stripping. A 2 to 3 inch distance between the ground and string head and a steady side to side motion should be observed to not overdo it.
3. When cutting, follow the directions of the weed eater so as not to have weeds and dirt thrown back at you. Tilt the head of the weed eater some degrees to the left when cutting around curbs. Trimming one area in more than one pass may be necessary for overgrown weeds or grass.
4. Store your weed eater away from the reach of children. For gas powered weed eater, the fuel tank must be emptied to avoid accidental flame ups.
Be sure to take these steps carefully, and you can now achieve that beautifully manicured lawn you have always wanted with the help of your weed eater.
