Congratulations on getting you an edger. I use a weedeater to edge and I do well keeping it straight as if I used an edger. I edge mostly from the grass side after I mow because I've seen my results and it shows a clean look. I understand we all have different ways we go about doing the same task but as long as you're satisfied with the finished result, that's what matters. If you want something more powerful, go with a Sthil or Shindawa edger. It’s worth the money for less time.

@maltedbarley1 I'm over in Hamilton. I'm probably going to wind up experimenting with ironcutter Bermuda next year on a small part of the beauty strip. The rest of the lawn is 365ss kbg with prg overseeds. This year was rough though with the heat and drought in June.

I wish i could see more qbout how to adjust the screws so the plate is on at the proper angle. My mower is older and ive done all the steps but i realized the metal plate doesnt seem right and isnt sharpening all at once.whoch also tells me the blades may have never been adjusted with the plate right. As i use the compound, i keep seeing pits with the silver. So i guess i just keep going until there are no more little black dots? Or is that just discoloration?
