The Lawn Trimming Hack You'll Wish You Knew Sooner
By BAYLEE BUNCE
Lawn trimming can often feel like a dreaded chore. Thankfully, a simple hack can make the task easier and save you time: using a counter-clockwise motion with your string trimmer.
Since most string trimmers rotate counter-clockwise, walking in the same direction ensures that grass clippings fall onto your lawn instead of on driveways, sidewalks,
or streets.
This technique not only reduces the time spent on cleanup but also prevents yard waste from entering storm drains, where it can cause harmful algae blooms in local waterways.
After using the counter-clockwise trimming method, any stray clippings can easily be swept back onto the grass, where they can decompose and provide nutrients to your soil.
