Round Up and a weedwacker - great combo!
I've used a gardening service for the past 13 years but since my MD tells me to get more exercise I thought I'd kill two birds and get fit while taking care of my big yard. I rediscovered how hard manual labor is on the body but I am really enjoying taking care of my house myself. It's even more fun now that I've been using Round Up and a Stihl weedwacker for the hillside.
There is a steep hill between my house and the next door neighbor. Weeds grow rampant during the rainy season and, year after year, the gardener would spray Round Up and use a weedwacker. I thought I'd just control it by pulling weeds every weekend. Forget that noise! Pulling weeds by hand sucks big time. The gardener had it right. Nuke the weeds then clear them with a machine. Round Up and a Stihl - a One-Two punch.
Next I'm going to buy a chainsaw to trim down the ivy. Then I'm going to buy a leaf blower so I won't have to rake. I feel like Tim Allen on Tool Time with all these mechanized gadgets.
