Radius Garden 22611 Root Slayer Edger, Red

Works great. I used the smaller version of this with the circle handle and it was great, but it was short for me. I got this one and it's perfect. Great for lifting old sod out that has encroaching tree roots. I've used this to carve out holes for planting larger plants. I have OG cedars and their roots are all over the place. Carve out the hole that you want with this for the top 6" and it just goes through the soil and roots perfectly, then start digging and you can drop large root balls in without having to get in and prune out the roots to fit the plant going in.

I have owned many types of edgers over the years, and they were all hard to use on my soil. This one works like a charm, easily cutting into sod and smaller roots. It is making the job of edging so much easier. It's the perfect size for me, but someone very tall may have issues using this due to the shorter than normal handle. It's not too heavy but it feels very substantial. I highly recommend this.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. This tool is a beast against tough roots and invaluable for getting a straight edge against your patio or garden bed. It’s also going to be my tool of choice in the Zombie Apocalypse.

Good edger, PROVIDED that soil has been watered in advance to make it easy for the blades to penetrate.I am a senior, who finds the weight a bit difficult. But I am training my yard crew to use it and like the sharp lawn edges that it creates.Now I need to figure out an easy way to remove the weeds on the other side of the lawn edge, as the lawn crew doesn't like to do weeding and I am having difficulty doing it myself.

Very easy to use. Works well cutting in grass & smallish roots. It's not too heavy. Someone taller might have issues using the handle due to it being a bit shorter than normal. Quality is good & should last a long time.

I ordered it because of my frustration with roots when digging in my yard. I was digger big a ditch and pick would just get entangled in the roots. I was expecting the tool to be razor sharp but it wasn’t. I didn’t think it would work. When I put it to use, was amazed at how it cut through the ground and roots. I dug the ditch quickly with this tool. Edging the yard was easy. A few days later I decided to use a bastard file to sharpen it. It got a sharp edge and it cut through roots like slicing through butter. I have fallen in love with this tool. Recommend it highly.

I waited a bit try out my new edger. It is a lovely tool...well made and attractive. I love the red handle. Anyway, finally I got out in the yard and tried it out. What I really bought if for was to edge along the sidewalks. And that worked great. You find the edge of the sidewalk, and the push the edger down close to the edge...just cutting the sod. I did the entire sidewalk edge and then afterwards, I just pulled away the sod that had been crawling over the sidewalk edge. It came off in a long strip. My husband did another of our sidewalks. Along that edge, the sod was thicker and harder to push through, so he was stronger and did that walk. I also made a new edge around another garden flower bed and that worked fine too. So I was really pleased with my new edger which is replacing an old gas powdered edger that was probably 50 years old!

I love how easily this cuts through even my dry clay soil!
