best lawn mower small garden image
Q. What is the machine that they use on the border of the grass and concrete? It's a tiny lawn mower kind of thing with a circular blade in it and it makes a scraping noise when it hits the concrete. It's very annoying and I'd like to know what it is called and what the purpose of it is. Thanks!

An edger?
An edger (also known as a lawn edger or stick edger) is a garden tool used to cleanly separate a lawn from a walkway or other paved surface, such as a concrete sidewalk or asphalt path. Edgers may be manual or automated, typically employing a small two-stroke gasoline motor or an electric motor. Use of an edger defines a clear separation between the lawn and the walkway, imparting a finished appearance that is neater than can be achieved by merely mowing over the border of the lawn and walkway (which frequently permits tufts of low-growing grass to hang over onto the walkway, resulting in an irregular or ragged appearance).
lol!

What's an efficient way to get rid of yard weeds?
Deborah
I have a big yard that's full of weeds, some of them with points on them. I always use a hand weed wacker but it takes hours upon hours to get it to look halfway decent. I don't have the room or the money to buy a lawn mower. What do you recommend that's a small and efficient appliance to maintain this yard?
Answer
To get rid of weeds in your front yard you may want to spray them with Roundup. This herbicide kills all plants, so don't let it drift onto plants or lawn that you want to keep. There is no easy way to get rid of weeds organically. You will probably need to hoe or pull them up. A tip: it is easier to pull weeds when the soil is slightly moist. Before you plant the garden, prepare the soil for planting and water it. Allow it to sit unplanted for a couple of weeks so weed seeds can germinate and be cleared before you plant. Another method to use it to cover the soil with heavy plastic for 1 - 2 months to solarize it. This can kill diseases, insects and some seeds. Using mulch also cuts down on weeds. You can use a rototiller to get rid of the weeds, but that potentially may create more of them in the long run. Rototilling will bring up weed seeds buried in the soil and it chops up roots into multiple pieces, some of which can sprout.
