I'm thinking of buying one of these string trimmers myself to help reduce
risk of fire. We had a prolonged dry season this year. I had extensive
fire damage on my property. Most of the people in our permaculture group
had fire damage to their property as well. I am going to try many
strategies to reduce fire risk (including velvet beans to try to smother the
grass) but maybe the strimmer will help as well. I'd really like to get a
scythe but I'm not keen right now to go through the problems of importing
stuff.
