Trying to keep grass clippings out of pond. - 10/19/14 10:38 PM
I hate it when I use the string trimmer to try and get down to the water's edge....it always throws debris out into the pond. I've tried a pushmower, but this means I'm probably walking in mud trying to push it, and the blade doesn't like to cut water very well.
I use herbicide where appropriate to do so, but there are still areas where I would prefer the manicured look over a barren, dead landscape.
So, the first prototype. It fastens on a straight shaft trimmer, in this case an Echo, and it should give me an extended reach while rolling along, 4" above the ground. It cuts a 21" swath, or at least it did during the proof of concept phase. The cutting attachment is finished, just waiting on a part or two for the trimmer itself. Hope to test next weekend.
