Not it doesn't. That a cheap second-class amateur method for edging. I've seen people mow lawn with weed wackers. That doesn't make it the proper tool.
@@krane15 cheap second class method says the guy that probably don’t have a business. I’ve watched plenty of RUclips guys with their own business and thousands of followers not use that tool and edge a lawn and it looks perfect. It’s all on RUclips.
Millions of views on their videos. You don’t HAVE to use this tool, it’s a skill issue. Just say you can’t use a weed wacker and edge it to perfection.
Edgers are great for single-residential application, but anybody who has spent any amount of time doing commercial lawn care will just use a line trimmer. It's easier, and the margin for error is greater. The Worx trimmer has a wheel guide for the inexperienced. Also, why is he holding his trimmer like that? Weird.
@@krane15all you’ve done is expose yourself as a novice. I’ve owned a lawncare company for just shy of 10yrs and if a guy cannot edge with a trimmer he is promoted back to customer.
@@turfbadgerYou really are though of you believe what you said. An edger is great for new jobs that have been over grown but for weekly maintenance, trimmer is all you need. Plus a new blade on an edger cuts way too deep.

@@93rwolf I worked for two different landscaping companies over the span of 2 years. One, a local family owned business that was $60 a man hour, and another local business that works all over the state, started as a nursery in the late 1800s, charged $125 a man hour. Both used string trimmers for edge work. So idk about that one hoss
I recently began my edging journey and my life is so much better, my lawn looks incredible now that I edge all over it. I even edge on my neighbor lawns, sometimes I go around to random houses and edge. I even edge at my school now, and you wouldn't believe it but they pay me to edge on their lawns.
Buy the right line and edge properly and then pull yo through very little line. It beats carrying two tools with you and way better than having to replace edger blades.
My grandparents taught me how to edge. They let me edge all over the lawn. They taught me different grips and everything. Sometimes when my hands get sweaty I use tissues too.
Edging changed my life for good. Before I found edging, I was a no life loser. But after I started edging, I got a solid career, doing good in studies, my parents are proud of me, etc. I love edging in my school. It calms me😊
I love edging. I especially love it when I can edge all over people's property. There's nothing like getting paid by tons of people to edge all day. I love it, they love it, I think I'll edge til I die.
I started using this edging technique, I use it every day, I edge and edge and edge. My teachers told me to stop but I keep on going, You guys can’t compete with the gooner though.

@turfbadger like I said you'll need a real one to set it and get through overgrowth but most edges aren't to bad and string will get through it I can make a video today about it if you'd like
Thankyou for sharing this, my family and I have been edgers for generations. My great grandfather taught my grandfather how to edge, who taught my father how to edge, who then perfected the craft of edging and taught me his ways. Glad we can see a growing community of edgers wanting to learn more about our beautiful art
I recently started to edge. It has changed my life completely. I edge everywhere!! Around my parents,kids, and co workers. We all have a family edging competition. I love edging
Hate to be that comment but with all due respect I know 3 guys that will put an edge with a weedeater that is just as straight and pretty than any edger could. Not to mention we never have to change tools. Edge one way and trim top coming back. Especially if it is already trained and good turf. I turn to an edger whenever it has never been edged or trained. But that is 30years of experience. And yes 90% of people should use edger.
@@turfbadgeryou’re crazy if you think that it’s impossible. I can’t do it so I have an edger. But I’ve hired a few Mexicans to care for my lawn before and absolutely crushed it with string trimmers. Some can even make it look like it was done with edger. Me…. No. Some…. Yes

So you can either take out a chunk of your concrete or just replace the spool of line on your strimmer occasionally.
Or u can just yk, edge it out
Buy the right line and edge properly and then pull yo through very little line. It beats carrying two tools with you and way better than having to replace edger blades.
This is going to improve my edging so much!
My dad used to make me edge the lawn with a walk behind gas powered edger with a huge blade when I was like 7 or 8. I prefer a string trimmer now.
Edging jokes aside that actually looks super useful

Twice a year it is. The rest of the time just clean it up with your string trimmer
