I have often been asked how I keep my hedge so neat and tidy all year around. Well I use a hedge trimmer of course. I used to have a huge pair of rusty shears, but I found that these didn't use electricity at all, so I invested in a Bosch hedge trimmer (not the one in the picture - I couldn't find a photo of my own trimmer). So now I own a Bosch hedge trimmer, which trimmer should you buy? Firstly you need to find out how far away from your house your hedge is. If it is 100 metres away then you might need a very long cable to reach your hedge. So you need to buy a hedge trimmer with a very long cable (or wire). Next you need to work out just how much of a weed you are. It's no use buying a great big heavy one, if it makes your wrists ache after a few minutes. I suggest you go into a shop and feel them all for weight, then when you've made your decision to buy, pop home and get onto the internet and buy one from there (it will be cheaper).
Here's some more hedge trimmer pictures.
Enjoy your trimming.
That's a really useful and inspiring resource, Leonard, thank you. If only I had a hedge.
ReplyDeleteWell I've got a hedge, and my next door neighbour trimmed it for me. I think this is a better method than those outlined above. It also still works when your internet connection's playing up.
ReplyDeleteThese hedge trimmers are they USB or firewire?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea Nigel. The one that I own was bought from Argos, and uses a 3 pin interface, I believe.
ReplyDeleteIs trimming your neighbour's hedge actually legal?
ReplyDeleteI'd need to save up. Maybe start a hedge-fund.
ReplyDeleteOnly if you're invited and you have bought them dinner Mr B.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure the deal is worth it, Poobah, but I'll have a look to see if there are any good looking hedges near me.
ReplyDeleteWould you do a tea towel in the shape of a hedge trimmer for me?
ReplyDeleteCould you let me know the approximate cost?
Let me have a wild guess at how much they are Mr Ward... ...£20?
