The K-Zone: The real man's gardening tools
Forget the trowel and secateurs -- the real man does his gardening
with these heavy-duty, petrol-powered monsters. Put a step wrong with
one of these beauties, and you'll be fit for nothing but compost.
These articles gives some basic advice on using this kind of
apparatus safely, and some hints on how to do a reasonable job
with them. Naturally, they are no substitute for proper training,
or reading the manual, and I'm not for a moment condoning a gung-ho,
hope-for-the-best attitude to dangerous machinery. These articles are
based on my own experiences over the last few years, maintaining
my ten-acre backyard, and I don't claim
any particular expertise. But I've still got all my limbs, which must
count for something.
