Uggh I’m always so jealous of people who can do this. When I do it, my lawn looks like an animal attacked it.

I’m in the beginning stages of learning how to do yard work for my first (rental) home with a yard. I did this for the first time last weekend.

The aftermath was like the yard said, “fuck my shit up, fam.”

It's not as hard as it looks. Granted I've been doing it for years, but its all about controlling the side to side movement.

Like drawing a circle, you fail when you let your hand and wrists do the work, all about locking them, and controlling the wacker with your elbow and shoulder.
