A weed wacker can make your lawn and garden chores much easier. This is because they are both portable and able to reach those tight spots that a lawn mower has trouble reaching. This makes it perfect for those edges around your house and at the edges of your garden. Weed wackers can be run electrically or with gasoline. If you choose an electric one, then make sure that you have extension cords so that you can bring it wherever you need it. When using the weed whacker, be careful not to whack your leg or any of your body.
