She doesn't use power equipment, but my wife has scores of trees, hedges, and a large garden. The garden is about 1500 sq. ft, and she uses a Troy Cultivator plus to weed it.

Thanks for responding baymee, I'll be curious to see any other comments.

I have never met a woman that loves to work in the yard, or cook, or, Oh never mind, the list is too long! LOL

I f I had half the interest, knowledge and energy toward yard work and cooking/cleaning I would be unreal. I feel it balances as we share and work our best suited areas. Her Grandparents/Parents taught her well.

I like power equipment, but don't use a mower due to grass allergies. I use a tractor, mostly to move dirt, manure, and mulch for gardens, and a heavy duty weed whizzer that has a couple of blades as well as a string trimmer. In general I do smaller yard and garden jobs with hand tools since I like the quiet of my rural area and would rather listen to birds than have to wear ear protection.
