    If I may add a suggestion but before I do that let me explain a very common mistake most people make when mowing their lawn, now as with any lawn mower be it walk behind or riding, there is an adjustment on the wheels and on the tractor you have a handle that adjusts the mowing height, as a rule I always set my mowing height to 3-4", never any lower during the mowing season, now let me explain why I do this, #1 raising the height to your mower or tractor deck allows for a more lush thick healthy lawn that will keep the sun away from your lawns roots, the sun will kill your lawn if you mow lower than 3-4", I always use the #4 setting and every year I get people stopping asking how I get my lawn looking so beautiful, now doing this is not the end of the work involved in caring for your lawn, I also apply the Walmart cheap Sta Green fertilizer twice a year, now this won't work for every lawn as I live in the Deep South where the temperatures get above 3 digits daily and I must water my lawn daily, In my neck of the woods we call cutting your grass to the ground Scalping, contrary to what you may have been told about the benefits of cutting your grass less if you scalp your lawn let's just say "Somebody done told you wrong", I hope this helps someone have a more beautiful lawn.

    I do have some questions though; do you weed whack or mow first? Can weed whacking be done with an edger? And do you need to run the weed whacker over the ENTIRE lawn, or just a bit?

    • @Caliber8Tools
      @Caliber8Tools  Рік тому

      Weed whack first. Better to use a weed wacker over an edger, because you can use a wacker to edge as well. Use it to hit high weeds over the entire lawn.

      @@Ch33no look at your trimmer from the operating position. The cutting head rotates anticlockwise. If you use the left side of the head for cutting, the grass and debris will be flung toward you by the rotating string/blade. If you use the right side the debris will be flung ahead of you. Position yourself accordingly and you will see the difference yourself.
