One might think that if ever there was a plant one should not pulverize

nothing to do with string trimming.

Actually, I seem to be immune to poison ivy, as I can rip that stuff out
all day long with my bare hands and never be bothered by it.


I suppose string trimming is
relatively safe because what it throws tends to stay low.

I never have a problem whn trimming stuff that's low, I was just posting in
reference to cutting through stuff that's at least at tall as you are.
