Mowing grass with a gas-powered Weed-eater

Someday (not far from now), when oil is well over $200 a barrel, our grandchildren are gonna ask, "Wow, you actually used fossil fuels to cut grass and weeds??!!"

Here's a link to my personal page on Fossil Fuels and Peak Oil:

Yea then after a few weeks you wonder why the lawn has yellow spots, patches.............lol

If your yard is all weeds, its fine to use fishing string to whack it.

But no string trimmer touches my bermuda! Just a sharp blade. LOL.

@MrTwinsrule

Makes sense to me!

I use weed eaters at work on entire lawns sometimes. They're slow but very effective.

@weirdguy75

Thanks! I've seen many people do it around the country.

ive tried doing that

@brendonk01

Did it work for you?

@Lukeschedel No! No! No! never add more than the recommended ratio ( check your gas cap) That is probably Why your weed eater is heating up. Check your throttle cable connector. It usually has a screw that adjusts the low idle. Check and clean your air filter. Hope this helps. Message me if there are any other issues.-

I've seen Mexicans cut better than lawn mowers with just a weed eater. And damn are they good and fast. I can kind of do it. I am Mexican.
