TIPS & TRICKS
- A finely edged garden bed provides definition and elegance to your landscaping. Before using the Weasel® Edger-Chopper make sure that your design is planned and your borders are carefully delineated. This preliminary step will save you from second-guessing the design once you start edging, and speed up your work.
- Take note of the soil condition as you prepare to begin. If the soil is too wet, your carefully-planned borders may lose their sharp edges. Alternatively, if the ground is too dry, you may find that you are unable to create the smooth lines you are seeking.
- An even depth of edging looks clean and professional. Work to maintain a consistent ridge of between 2” and 4” as you create your beds.
- To minimize strain on your body, use the extra wide footplate to help you insert the Edger-Chopper into the soil. Rock the blade gently by pushing on the handle for additional leverage.
- In addition to edging, the design of the blade edge allows the Weasel® Edger-Chopper to cut through small roots that may be in your way. This feature lets you complete your task quickly and efficiently using only one tool.
