Can Anyone Give Me Info On How To Pick Out A Decent Electric Weed Eater/ Edger @ A Good Price?
Question:We live in base housing and really need to fix up our yard, however, my husband and I are both landscaping/garden virgins. I don't know what makes a more expensive electric weed eater/edger better than a cheap one or the best place to buy one at a good price.
Also, we have already failed our yard inspection 3 times which is HORRIBLE so any tips or advice on how to keep a yard maintained well or even decorating/gardening tips would be great! Thanks! :)

If you're the wife, and will be stuck doing the weed-eatting (Like Me:) My best advice is to go to the store and find one that feels comfortable to you. Don't get one that is too heavy or awkward feeling for you. I have a Homelite, and it's really light weight, but does a great job...and was inexpensive. I like to mow before I do the trimming, that way you don't miss anything and have to go back over it. Whatever model you get, read the manual, and get familiar with re-stringing the line on the cutting head~I think they are all a pain in the butt when it comes to that...I never have used one that you can just "tap" and the line comes out smoothly, like it's suppose to~lol
It's not hard to "spruce-up" your yard and make it look nice. Just keeping it mowed and trimmed is a major improvement~but you can also plant some nice annuals in pots, if there aren't any flower beds available, and that will make it look even better! Just grab you a few pots, potting soil, and head to a garden center~then all that's left is the watering;)
Good Luck!!
