Well lucky you.

Look I think I know where you're coming from. I had my grass whip in hand earlier today. But the word 'folly' is a little strong, no? Everyone has to make the make/buy hand/power decisions for themselves. Discussing the futility of cheaping out is valid. Last time I was at the recyclers they had a 50+ year old wood-handled grass whip for $3. I passed because I think the modern ones work better, and I already have two.

But once again, as was pointed out a rake doesn't mulch. I'd want something pedal powered like a stationary bike. It could have a grinding wheel as well.
