Jill--
The batteries in my cordless trimmer just last about 15 minutes--then they wind down
and no longer work as a trimmer...
It took me BOTH batteries to edge my sidewalk out front and half of my driveway.
Pathetic!
Maybe I ruined the full charge ability in the beginning as I would plug it in to
charge before I ran it 100% dry. Too late--I learned you HAVE TO allow the battery to run
completely out and then charge it. it seems to have a "memory" of the improper
chatging i did at first. A Lithium battery would help a lot.

Anyway-----
I usually wear latex or vinyl examination gloves when I garden . It is as close to skin
as you can get. I don't like wearing any real gardening gloves as I cannot "feel" anything.

Forget knee pads! I am not allowed to kneel at all--pads or no pads. Knee replacement
rules.....makes it hard to garden and work on something very low to the ground. (weeding) .

Jeff--just for you--here is my "sock tan"....look to the right--ain't it lovely?
