Tip of the day

If you're going to edge using your strimmer, under some palms with long scrappy leaves, make sure you pick up all the fallen leaves by hand first. When they wrap round the strimmer they're pigs to get out. Also if the palms are along the border and overhang the edges, I suggest you strim by hand around/under them for the same reason. Here speaks someone who had to dismantle the head in the field to clear the leaves, which when wrapped up are stronger than titanium it would seem :)
