I'm looking for some quick training tips / experiences on edging!
I hace been in the business for 4 years and this year have expanded to include 2 employees. Things have been going OK for the most part except in the area of SOFT EDGES (the edging of grass next to flowerbeds or bark ).
Like most of you I'm sure, for my residential accounts about 75% of the edges are SOFT EDGES and my customers have become accustom to nice clean, straight edges.
When I started, I learned to cut soft edges with a weedeater. It took a couple seasons but I have become quite proficient at it. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of time with my employees.
I have tried a 4-wheel push edger with limited success, especially on curves. I have now gone to a couple Stihl straight-shafted stick edgers.
I don't want to acquire more equipment but am looking for training guidance, successes and failures, on this type of equipment.
