Hi Julie My Friend :)

I LOVE my Mantis too! Really cuts the edging time/work down to nothing.
Actually, I think hubby loves it more. Anytime I get the thing out and start to "play" the next thing I know he's like "here, let me help you" and he's off...and off...and off... my job is following behind and picking up the clumps of sod. hmmmmm sounds like I'm getting short changed doesn't it? Maybe I need to be the Mantis woman and he can be the sod guy for a change? *lol* No, he "wouldn't do it right" so I will just let him be the power tool man.

So nice to see you! Hope you are enjoying your summer and time with your parents :)

I am, thanks! Do you know, all my good intentions, and I haven't had it out to edge around the beds yet? I do have nice "trench" edges on the veggie beds, though... I use that tendency it has to make a trench at the end of its tilling run to my advantage, LOL. I think the "ready to plant" photo shows the trench around the edge and down the center (my walkway) after I've raked the bed smooth.

LOL... see, actually, it's little yards where they're the most useful! You wouldn't even need a very long extension cord... and you could bring it over to Becky's, too... I think there's a little grass left at her place, and, really, it's got to go!
