My neighbor Linda spent 10 minutes showing me how to edge with a $7 hand tool and my yard finally looks like someone who cares lives here

She just handed me her old edger and said 'stop borrowing your dad's gas trimmer, you're making it look worse' and after 3 passes along the driveway I was completely sold on the simple method. Has anyone else had a neighbor correct your whole approach with one tool they already owned?

Did I used to think a hand edger was just some hipster yard tool? Yeah, kinda. I was all about the gas trimmer until my neighbor Carol literally grabbed the thing out of my hand and showed me how to get a crisp line in two minutes flat. Now I have a spot near the mailbox that actually looks like a clean border instead of a weed patch. It's weird how something so simple can make such a difference.

Well @elizabethpalmer, guess your neighbor Carol and my neighbor Linda are running a secret hand edger cult.
