The house I am now living in has a garden at both the front and back, well,, I say 'garden', but they both mainly consist of stone flags, with parts on the sides that are just soil. And there are a lot of weeds growing between the flags and also of course growing in the open soil parts, and also some long, thick grass that isn't really grass but looks like it (only thicker, and about a foot high). There might be non-weed plants too, but whatever, I want to get rid of all the plant growth, then put down weed killer to prevent more growth for as long as possible.
So I was thinking that I should get a strimmer, is this the best/easiest solution for cutting down the plant-life? What should I look for in a strimmer? And what sort of weed killer should I get (one thing, it MUST be pet friendly, as I have a dog and cat).
Thanks for any answers.
The answer is simple. Buy Killex. it's the only thing that works. Just don't get any on you. It degrades into inert compounds rather quickly so just keep the animals and kids off the lawn for the day and you won't regret it.
For the string trimmer buy a 28cc 2-stroke Husqvarna.
You won't have need for anything else
