We've just moved into a new place and there is a very tiny patch of grass, maybe 2 m x 2 m. We have never maintained a garden before and I'd be a little embarassed getting a gardener to come in for such a small patch.
Has anyone used the manual grass cutters? They are on a broom stick and it seems I push them around. I reckon I could handle that!
If anyone has used them and thinks they are ok let me know!
Cheers,
Fiona
A friends DP mows lawns for a living. His dad has done it for years also. He himself owns a manual grass cutter because he prefers the job it does :)
We used to have one when we first moved in here as we just could not afford a powered one. They are okay if you keep on top of the grass. A bit hard going if you let the grass grow to long.
Agreed.:
They are actually pretty easy to use if the grass isn't super thick or super long. Much smaller and easier to manouver than a big petrol powered mower. We have one to do the courtyard in our unit, about three times the size of what you are talking about. $60 ish from Bunnings.
HTH
Thanks for the advice. I might get it professionally done first up and then maintain it from now.
Mitchell got a lawn mower that blows bubbles for Christmas so he can help me.
Hahahaha I used one last weekend on our longish grass.... Absolute hell....... I could see how you could use it on very short grass but they are a lot of muscle work.....
too much for me and I'm pretty fit, have only about 4m x 4m......
we went to get one recently but the line trimmers were cheaper so we ended up getting one of those :redface:
ooo... What's a line trimmer? Do I need both? There is a whole world of gardening consumerism that is becoming available to me!:
:lol: i am the world's worst gardener! it's a whipper snipper - it doesn't cut the grass to perfection but ours isn't a lovely lawn, just random grass! it's electric & gives it a good trim. it does edges as well, if you're that way inclined! i don't think you need both...but as i say - extremely lazy/bad gardener here!
