Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog Review

I previously discussed the differences between string trimmers and edgers and some of the various options I was considering. In the past I was able to borrow an edger a few times a year but now I needed to get my own.

I finally decided on the Black & Decker LE750 Edge Hog 2-1/4 HP Electric Landscape Edger because I didn't want to deal with gas and I have less than 200' of edging to do.

The Hound Dog Steppin' Edger #HDP6-4 was a close second. I have other Hound Dog products that I'm happy with and I like to use manual tools when I can. They're cordless, very quiet and using them burns a few calories. I ultimately decided on a powered lawn edger to speed things up.

How To Build A Raised Garden Bed

Raised bed gardens don't exactly have much to do with lawn care but one thing that can help your lawn look better is to have it be part of a nice landscape plan.

This post isn't an instruction on how to build a particular type of raised garden bed. It is the information you need to know to be able to build any size or type of raised garden to suit your needs.

What Is Organic Lawn Care?

So I've been talking about organic lawn care quite a bit but never really discussed what organic lawn care means.

There is no official definition of organic lawn care so what it means will vary from person to person and some organic lawn care companies may not truly be organic by certain definitions. There are some standards that apply to organic production of crops and livestock such as the USDA National Organic Program, the Organic Consumers Association watchdog group and the Organic Materials Review Institute, a non-profit organization that approves products that may be used in certified organic production as per the USDA NOP. These programs and organizations focus on the production of organic fruits and vegetables, not lawn care specifically.

In this post I'll discuss some of the different meanings of organic lawn care and my own personal philosophy behind organic lawn care.
