Will this work for an overgrown field of mixed grasses, weeds and miscellaneous plants ranging from 1 to 2 feet in height?

I have cut grass and weeds up to 3 feet and had no problem. We have a lot of russian thistle up here in North Dakota and it goes through it like butter. I love this machine.

It works GREAT on tall weeds. The only place it bogs down is with thick stalks, such as greater than 1/2 inch in diameter.

It is a fine machine. One of my favorites. It works great for tall grass. It is less great for shrubs and other vegetation with stalks--the string is tough, but it breaks on hard stems. elw

Absolutely. I live in a harshly weeded area/Arizona. It will whack anything up to and including mesquite saplings.

It should do fine, but be sure to have more cutting line on hand. Some of those thick stocky stems are like steel and use up your line. We have cut small saplings of bushes back with it and it has worked well.

Yes. That's the kind of conditions we have living in a forest with some grassy areas around our house.

Yes it will, but be careful of overspraying on to other plants/grasses as it could kill them too.

I have run mine over such areas, and I have found that it will not grind up the weeds so much as pull them out. I am fine with this as I just gab the wad of weeds and toss it. I you want it to mush and grind them into the soil, I don't think you will be happy with this tiller.

You know, I am not sure what St. Augustine grass looks like, but it really works well on medium and low height grass. Not so much on anything tall.

I really do not think it will work for you. I use mine solely for my already prepped garden an for my already prepped areas around my shrubs and flowers. It is a light duty unit and will not break up grass unless it is very wet and almost muddy. Who want to till mud?!

I don't think it would be satisfactory for turf. The unit is mostly plastic and is lightweight. The sweeping brushes are plastic and designed to sweep leaves off the surface of grass. The brushes spin and sweep the leaves into the hopper. But they aren't strong enough or low enough to brush up artificial turf. The unit works best on flat ground. When you try to run it over uneven ground, the brushes hang up on the high parts of turf which leads me to believe that this unit wouldn't do what you are looking for. I would advise getting something heavier and designed for turf.

Would probably be good. It doesn't have a real good height adjustment for real close cutting, but it works great for thicker grass and around bushes, etc.

I can not recommend this for your application. You would be looking for a targeted OTT (OVER THE TOP) Grass Killer labeled for this specific use you intend.

That is a micro lawn. I have no doubt that this device would work for that size lawn, but there are many cheaper, lower maintenance choices that would also work.

Yes, it's one inch thick so as long as it is laying flat it will be fine. It will help if you make sure and remove the existing grass first.

I can only guess that it will. The shape is different than what I had too, but this stuff works great in heavy weeds. I use it in a walk behind trimmer and I have been well pleased.

Yes I believe it will work. I haven't used it for that purpose but other plants with similar growth patterns.....the lateral growth of strawberries certainly takes more effort and just a little practice with this weeder.

Yes, but it is too large for this type of use. It was designed to be used primarily on grass, but with a little extra care, it should do the job. Keep it sharp!

Not well at all. Dry grass is optimal. Tall standing weeds it has a problem cutting

if you work from one side to the other & take your time,i'm sure it would work. i've removed all types of weeds (even deep rooted ones) with this tool.

I think it will work fine. Be sure to use steel spikes to pound into the hard soil to hold it down.

Yes It Will. I Planted Five 6 Inch Pots In My Garden. The Herbs Are Growing Fast. Keep Watering The Herbs.
