Fuel Used

Weed eaters are powered by either battery, gas or electricity. Electricity powered trimmers have a cord to be connected to the electricity for it to run. They produce more power because they are directly connected to the power and the length of the cable determines the clearance space. Many times the cord is short limiting the clearance area making it unsuitable for large scale weed clearing.

Battery powered trimmers have a battery which stores energy. This means that you must charge the batteries before use. If your field is large, you should get a higher capacity battery. Note that, the larger the battery, the heavier the machines reducing portability. If you do not understand the right balance between the weight and space, you might end up frustrated.

Gas powered trimmers have been ranked the best in the market. They are majorly used for commercial needs. The only downside of gas trimmers is that they are noisy and produces smoke but remain the best for stubborn weeds.

Weight

We have touched on a bit of weight in point one above. For commercial needs, you need a light trimmer for easy movement. You will save a lot of time this way as well. You do not want your employees to get tired within the first hour of the job because the machine is too heavy to carry around. As indicated above, gas-powered weed eaters are the lightest and best for large fields. Other than the battery, the weight of the trimmer is determined by all other parts making it. Avoid trimmers with so many parts if you are following lightweight machines.

Shaft Option

The shaft of the weed eater is another thing to look at especially if you want to trim overgrown weeds. The shaft comes in two options, the straight and curved shaft. If you are cutting weeds for an extended period, we encourage you to use the curved shaft because it is more comfortable. On the other hand, straight shafts are precise and more flexible, but they are not as comfortable as the curved ones.…

The satisfaction of a neatly finished lawn or garden in your compound is enough to make you go to greater lengths to ensure it stays that way. Though it is not the easiest of tasks, you are always required to keep the fire burning. Looking over at your neighbor’s neat lawn is more than enough reason to always do your best for your garden and lawn. Seeing that no one can do the best job except you, it’s time for you to roll up your sleeves and get to work. Here are some top gardening hacks to make your lawn look great.

Tend to it every morning

If it is natural, there has to be something for you to do to make it stand out. For example, doing some light watering will make it look lively for the rest of the day. Your lawn is a huge part of your home and must definitely be treated as such. No morning should pass without you conducting some sort of maintenance ritual on your treasured garden piece. If you are not around, give clear instructions on what should be done to keep it looking neat and always at its best.

Keep litter at bay

Avoid littering on your lawn at all costs. Though you might not always be around to watch over your lawn, you should ensure this when you get the chance. This is an easy task to uphold when you hold your lawn so dear and close to your heart. Litter will make it look untidy as well as interfere with the neat growth. If you have kids around, make them see the importance of keeping the litter in the bin. This way, your lawn will be assured of utmost safety when you are away.

Mow the lawn

This is a task that is not such a favorite in many households. When you get the right tools to work with, your lawn mowing days will become a real delight to you. The hack here is to ensure that you have the latest and most efficient lawn mower. This will make work more fun as well as fast. Also, remember to do it in style and to follow a particular order. Mowing the lawn just for the sake of it will cause untold damage to the general outlook of the entire compound.

Tend to your gardening tools

The only way to make this a fun venture is by using tools that are in perfect condition. Take care of your tools in the best way possible and you can rest assured that everything else will fall neatly into place. For instance, gathering all your tools and storing them correctly will go very far in maintaining your lawn. Clean them up in the right way every time you are through with them. It might sound tedious but will eventually pay off in the long run.

Ask your new neighbor

That’s what neighbors are for. We all live close to neighbors who seem to maintain their lawn in the most effortless ways. Ask for some simple hacks to pull it off as well as they do.…
