RE: mowing Siberians


I have 4 Stiehl weedeaters (2 FS85 and 2 FS110) and really like them. The FS85's are about 10 years old with a lot of use and still run well. You can also get a small chainsaw attachment thats very handy for those hard to reach limbs...

Thanks Bob, Jim and Greg - I will probably go with a 'weed
whacker' since I have almost all my 120 Sibs. in mixed borders
not in rows. There is only one place where my husband could mow
about 20 Sibs. since they sort of hang off the island bed. (He
knows nothing about this since he is on a week-long business
trip - I will spring it on him next Sat.).

Greg,  I will have to get a more powerful 'weedeater' with a
hedge attachment. Our little weed whacker won't cut it,
literally.  :-) 

I am so happy to be free of the 'knife'. Thank you, guys!

Ellen
