lol. Yes i’m already trying the grass sideYou can try this, obviously cutting on the lawn side of the brick edging.
Also sad, I’ve used large household scissors. But it does look a sharp lawn afterwards, people say how did you manage that?

It's a Stinking Iris (Iris foetidissima) The flowers will be followed by red berries. It can spread a bit too
so sounds like as much my impatience as is the fault of the strummer. Maybe I’m just not suited, well not without sticking my blood pressure through the roof.I have had a few strimmers over the years and they can all suffer with the 'lost line' thing. I think it's actually down to the way you use the strimmer. I've always found that against walls you can only use them for a few seconds at a time and don't try to go close and quickly along the wall. Come in slowly and let the line just touch the wall gently.
Then stop/bump/whatever else feeds the line and do a few seconds more. If you try and strim continuously, you'll have the feed problems once the line gets too short (which can be different per strimmer
I've been using a Black and Decker 3 in 1 cordless strimmer for the past 8 or so years. I probably spend an hour per week strimming over the spring/summer. Never had any lost line problems. It auto feeds the line. Good for edging when turned and roll along on the wheel. It comes with a clip on bit which turns it into a mini mower which I use for steep sloping areas. There is now a newer model on sale 550W which looks pretty similar to mine.
Just cut, pressing down with your foot keeping the iron pulled tight and upright against the bricks as you go, every few months. Will leave a finish as sharp as a razor.
Birch Sawfly?
I think they're Seahorses.
Iirc you’re a Westdene Resident, I was in Green Ridge today and apart from some verges having the obligatory white stakes, bricks and logs to stop anti social parking i noticed a number of grass verges have some trees planted in them, question i have is, is this a City Council initiative of a property owner/community funded scheme?
.
If it’s a community group won’t the council get all aggy and have them removed, i seem to remember another area of the city having a similar issue?Withdean resident here
Guessing, a community group. A few weeks ago I saw ordinary folk creating a new shortcut walkway by the Hilltop Cafe. Done really smartly, they even used type 2 MOT! Surprisingly lots of youngish adults …. heartening to see another gen taking an interest.
