Gardening expert shares clever strimmer trick to get clean finish on lawn edges in seconds

With warmer weather creeping back in, some might be thinking about giving their garden a pre-summer spruce.

And while people love the process of gardening, others sometimes want to get certain tasks like trimming edges over and done with as quickly as possible.

Recently, the Just Gardens TikTok account has shared a quick and clever way to get your lawn edges trimmed in seconds, writes the Mirror Online.

In the video clip, he turned his strimmer the wrong way and speedily ran it along the edges of the grass – creating a perfectly sharp edge.

He captioned the video: "Quick easy way to edge your lawn off," and explained that the tool is called a Cobra Long Pole.

With 2 million views and over 20,000 likes, hundreds took to the comment section as they couldn't believe how effective the 'lazy' hack was.

One person said: "I'm mesmerised. I could watch this instead of watching my list of responsibilities grow."

Another wrote: "Clean lines, love it," while a third user commented: "That's SO satisfying." A fourth added: "Life changer. Thanks!"

One person suggested buying a lawn edger, but the Just Gardens pro replied saying: "Yes, but takes a lot longer and makes [the] border wider every time you do it."

The expert also suggested using safety goggles anytime you're using a strimmer, and to be cautious when strimming near any windows as stones could be thrown up and damage glass.
