How to Edge a Garden or Lawn - 2 Men with Shovels Vs Edging Machine!!

What happens here

The video presents a close-up comparison of the two trenches. The trench created by the mechanical edger is perfectly straight, has a uniform depth, and neatly places the excavated soil in a continuous pile alongside the trench. This precision facilitates easy installation of landscape edging and simplifies the backfilling process. In stark contrast, the hand-dug trench appears crooked, with an inconsistent depth, and the displaced soil is scattered haphazardly, requiring additional labor for cleanup and installation. The narrator emphasizes that the clean, uniform trench from the edger also speeds up the installation of the edging itself.

Goal: Demonstrate the quality advantages of mechanical trenching and its impact on installation.

works on those forearms. It really Oh. So, let's let's look at the difference in the trenches. This is what the machine does. It digs a nice trench and then it flips it right up alongside of it. So, you put your edging in and you kick it in. Let's go over. This is This is the finish point for this machine. And our finish point was right there. We started at the same point. You can see how much more this machine got done than we did. Here's where we left off. Here's our trench. Oh my gosh, that looks like crap. It's crooked. Dirt's tossed everywhere. The bottom is uneven in height. We're going to have to fill that in and start over again, I'm afraid. Let's look at the other trench. Now, all right, here's the trench the machine did. Straight. The bottom is the same height. The dirt is nicely tossed to the side. And what happens is not only did this machine cut the trench in half the time it took us to hand dig our trench, but now it's also going to speed up the installation process. we can lay the plastic in, put the dirt up in place, pound it, and we're done. It's almost the same um width as the edging. So, that's going to hold the edging as in place as we're installing it. So, not only does it dig the trench faster, but it also speeds up the installation of the edging. Adjust
