Will this cut heavy Goldenrod growth? They have a bit of a stalk to them.

We've found that ours has no problem with 1/2" stalks and bigger ones give up after a few tries.

Most likely. I have a wide variety of growth on the property and it cuts everything but more dense sapplings (eg trees). It will cut wild roses which are very tough.

Not sure if it is the same, but I have a tall grass with almost a bamboo like stalk. It will cut the grass, but will eat away the 1.55 mm trimmer line very quickly. I just chop down with machete first.

Hey Jeff I bought it for my brother but I don't see why it wouldn't. I might suggest that you run it back and forth across the small end of the stalk rather than lengthwise. I will email my bro and ask him to try it and let me know. Sorry I couldn't give you, more of a definitive answer.

I think it depends on how thick your weeds and brambles are. The tool does an excellent job of clearing most growth and does so without binding. But truth be told, I don't attempt to use it for saplings or brush that's overly thick as I'd probably look for a circular blade attachment to do that.

I feel sure it will. I used it on St. Augustine that has a much bigger blade, etc. Just getting me some Zoysia started. There is a web site that sells Zoysia and they advertise this tool for Zoysia on their web site. I LOVE mine and it makes the job so easy.

That is a good question. The material is a dense foam, with a cut in the middle, really only good for 1 plant. I would bet that it has a good chance, with a large seed, like a tomato. It's kinda like a Rapid Rooter, if you know them. The puck is 1" thick, so if the seed is 1/4" down, the root only has to go 1/2" till it hits spray. For transplant to a hydro system it should be mint. Now that you made me think about it, and I own one, I am going to try it right now, with some freebies. Peace

I would say yes, if you are cutting green stalks or fresh growth. I am assuming you have less than a dozen vines. I have a small vineyard, over 200 Niagara and New York Muscat vines and produce about 2,000# a year. I prune mine by hand using an anvil hand pruner as I walk the rows daily, or If I let them go for a couple of weeks, my electric hedge trimmer. I use the LR-3460 to clip, hold and retrieve water plants in my pond. Also on my Wisteria, Rose and Trumpet Vine arbors. Both the Rose and Trumpet vine have new green stalks 1/4" and smaller. The older trumpet vines are woody those larger than " can be hard to cut. In my experience woody or harder skinned plants can require a double cut and can cause the cutter heap to jamb closed. Keeping the cutter head cleaned and sharp can help to reduce this problem but does not totally eliminate it. In my experience I find this tool is useful when the job is small and requires finesse and reach. I would not use this tool to "Get the Job Done" or say when the job will require more than one hour to complete.

If you chop off the top of the pepper plant, it will be fine and will grow lots of side sprouts. It slightly slows the harvest but makes up for it in quantity.

I gave it as a gift but I would think if you can get it to grow at all you way ahead of me. I did read somewhere they suggest cutting back anything that extends out of the container.

It has the power too, but if they are long vines, they probably will get wrapped up in the tillers a bit. It would work if you have time most likely though.

It will cut thru large limbs easily. So I assume with a metal cutting blade it could do it.

You can cut them. The lighter green ones that are circular (I can't remember the species) are small already. They would be perfect little hills in a mini terrarium.

They are fairly deep if it did it would be very little you could trim it with a small knife ...I think it will be ok...Elaine

Highly unlikely There needs to be some growth for proper removal. Other wise the tweezers wont pluck anything.

Yes, it will, but first, you need to slice them, about a quarter of an inch thick.

No it will not because my growing season is not long enough. It's just ornamental.

You could try. It works best for "needle" type herbs. Basil & others have big leaves, much easier to pick them off stems.

It should work however I would consider a gas powered tool like a weed eater with a brush blade depending on amount and size. This would work great for finger thick vines but smaller stuff would give and not cut as easy.
