Cutting the hedge with LIGHT!
I have an allotment near my home, but it has no mains power. In the past, I've used petrol-powered cutters, but they were heavy, dirty, noisy and very smelly. -Enter the electric hedge trimmers!
Despite being the cheapest I could find, these cutters are surprisingly good! I had already bought a battery-powered strimmer from the same manufacturer and the batteries are the same. I also bought a spare battery to fit either.
I have installed a simple solar-charging system on my allotment shed roof, so I can now cut the hedges and strim the grass, powered totally by light.
...
Because these trimmers are so cheap, I wouldn't recommend them for huge, thick hedges that haven't been cut for ages, but if you take your time and use them carefully, they are brilliant.
In use, they are very light to handle, they don't smell (!), and they are very quiet -perfect, but don't expect them to hold up to major abuse.
TL;DR: Perfect for light jobs, but don't expect them to cut down Big Privet.
