Trimmer line vs Polycut attachment fingers
What happened to those polycut
attachment fingers you were trying out last year?
Tom Campbell-Houston, Texas
Thanks for the question Tom.
I liked the polycut
fingers when I first
tried them, and I think they still have a place when clearing heavier
stuff in the chicken pastures, but for day to day trimming around
raised beds and fruit trees the string seems to do a cleaner job of
cutting weeds off at the ground level.

Do you have issues with the chickens or the dog ingesting the broken bits of trimmer line?

Trimmer line ingestion
Bladerunner5 --- I'm not thrilled by the little pieces of plastic in the ground, but I never seem to notice anyone eating them. The chickens would be more likely than Lucy since the line is colorful, but perhaps the pieces are too small? Or maybe they eat the line and it doesn't hurt them so I don't notice?
