I am looking at a couple of trimmers at Home Depot and Lowes. The Home Depot models are the Echo srm225 and srm230 and the Lowes model is the Husky 223. I am attaching a picture so you can get and idea what kind of trimming I am talking about. The weeds are small and I have tried a brush cutter blade. The problem is the blade is too much for the weeds....a good string trimmer does a good job. Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

thanks
