Which tool do I need?  (3 Posts) DawnOfTheDee Wed 24-Oct-12
10:26:13   Garden is v overgrown and messy - weeds in between
paving slabs, growing out from under hedge, etc, etc. Basically
every nook and cranny had something growing out of it. It's like
day of the triffids...(my back garden backs onto woodland for
info).  Anyway I'd like to do a general basic tidy up and was
wondering what tool(s) to get. Would a strimmer type thing be ok
to go over the paved bit and chop down the weeds? I'm an
absolute beginner but just want to get the garden tidied up a
bit before winter.  Any tips, suggestions would be much
appreciated.  purplewithred Sun 28-Oct-12 16:35:28  You need a

their own tools on your jungle.  DawnOfTheDee Mon 29-Oct-12

hedgecutter which is good as money is tight at the moment. I
will definitely pick his brains ma
