I need to make a 5 inch trench around my flower beds to insert my edging. Will this do it?

Not necessarily, the trench will not much wider than the blade. Several passes could break up the soil, but you'd have to scoop it out with something else. A hoe is a little work and effective.

The Edgehog edger only has normal adjustments to about 2 inches, so I don't think so. It's at it's load limit cutting an edge trench at 2 inches, so I don't think it would have the power you want without overheating and sustaining damage.

Just my guess, but with a new blade it will get close to 5 inches deep, a lot will depend on soil, hard dirt cannot be to wet, and sand will want to fall back in quicker than you can put in edging...Rick

I'd be surprised if this tool would do that kind of job. My experience is that it would only go an inch or two in clay soils before it got stopped by the cuttings. The augur itself was not useful in getting the cuttings out of a hold in clay. I could get the cuttings out of a shallow (2 foot deep) hole with a clamshell-type post hole digger, but that would not work for a deep hole. Maybe a shop vac could vacuum or blow them out, but I doubt it would work for larger cuttings, which seemed to be what we got when digging into clay. If you could get it to work it would take FOREVER.

I've used my McLane edger many many times for cutting through the grass outline or sides of flower beds and even to cut sides of trenches for laying irrigation lines. Makes it much easier to come back with a shovel and dig between lines, and not have to cut through grass.

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.

Absolutely. Make sure that the soil is damp when you use this. When taking out a deep dandelion root, I find it best to drill in from two sides to loosen it. I've only used the weed claw on my flower bed two times this summer. That's all that I needed. It really made weeding fun.

The blades go down about 4 inches. You'd have to move the dirt you tilled, then till some more to go deeper. I think it was worth the money for me for everyday planting, and maintaining flower beds. If you have a big vegetable garden, you may need something bigger

Never tried but if your spade bit is sharp and take your time with plunging I'm sure it will.I recently had to drill 3/8" plugs in oak with a very dull plug cutter, took my time plunging, got the job done.

Hi - I do not know the size you are buying, I believe the edging on all of them requires 1 inches on the long sides and 1.5 inches on the shorter sides. Hope this helps!

No it doesn't. I had a trimmer, a TroyBilt that had various attachments that supposedly could do a number of jobs such as edging. Unfortunately, the Swiss Army Knife approach to power tools seldom works very well.

Yes it will work well for that. Hardie siding can be installed with this as manufacturers installation only requires 1" penetration into the stud. If nailing into sheathing then longer nails won't matter. This nails up to 1 3/4". Please refer to pages 11 and 12 of their best practice guide where this model is specifically mentioned as recommended for Hardieplank. See the link below, page 11 and 12. http://www.jameshardie.com/pdf/best-practices/hz/hz5-best-practice-guide-us-intro-tools.pdf Thanks, ADP

The blade is about 4.25 inches deep and it has a lip were you step on to get it into the ground. It can't go any deeper that 4.25 inches. You'll probably need to buy something wider like a hoe since this blade is very thin. I hope this helps

It works great on large weeds. It is not the tool I would recommend for many weeds in your flower bed. Too much work. You would be better off with a three prong weed tiller than the fiskar. I was a little disappointed in all the work required per weed with the fiskar. Check Lowes, etc., for a better weed puller.

It is not big enough to cover a hole that size. I am not at home to measure but at most it is half the size of what you are looking to do.

Yes but not over any type of edging or between close plantings. I can propel it to work on a long single row of plants but nor in my rose garden. It is large and difficult to turn while sitting on it.

Probably!You'd have to a very large pipe of course.Drilling holes in PVC can get messy and might ruin eqpt as the plastic melts on the saws.I made a flower tower using chicken wire and weed fabric.

I guess I would need to know more about your goals but it's a fantastic product. It would etch gourds, I would assume. Great with driftwood.

Not really. I use it just in a line in my flower bed. You might be able to a large curve and still have it flat.
