I wanting to take my garden tools, lawn mower blade and axe to get the items sharpened to make their use more efficient.

Buy a good 12 inch Mill-bastard file. It's cheaper than the sharpening shop. All of the tools except the lawn mower are soft steel and the file will do the job quite well. The lawn mower will take a grind stone of some type.

go.askthebuilder.com founder Tim Carter demonstrates that lawn mowers and lawn tractors are great machines. The latest models have some features ...

Or do you throw them away, or get some one else to do it. For example, fridge-freezers, washing machines, toasters, hoovers,micro-waves. Even T.V's, computers,watches,your car, lawn mowers, garden tools etc. Just wondering?.

Yes I try to repair everything from a light switch to a computer.
Mostly there is a way, but some products seem deliberately designed to foil the DIY amateur.
There are good reasons to try to fix things:
1. Saves money
2. Good for the environment
3. Boosts your ego if successful
4. You dont have to learn how to use a new appliance.

I find it distressing that so much good kit is dumped; this is completely unsustainable.

I live in a CONDO, for cryin' out loud. I don't even change the ballast on the flourescent lamp! I don't WANT to cut the grass or root out the weeds. I have a really pretty little potted rose on the terrace and it completely satisfies the urge to garden.

So why do the ads for garden tillers, supercharged riding lawn mowers, electric hedge clippers with optional nose hair trimmers, and tree root feeder spikes make me leap for the wallet? Hey, there isn't even any place to store that stuff if I did buy it.

Do you think they are using subliminal messages and manipulating our minds? Or do I need to put on the aluminum foil cap and block the ultrasonic waves from the NSA?

You subconsciously long for a house in the suburbs, 2 1/2 children, a Chevy suburban,and 3 acres of lawn, and a soccor team to coach. You must fight this. At all costs. Step away from the ads.

I live in the mountains and need to pull up a 1/2 acre of ivy, and other wild plants I don't want to start a garden... is there some tool (like a lawn mower) that will do this?
I HOPE I am clear, because I'm new to this, and don't know how to search this on the internet

There is a tool called a rototiller that has blades on it to dig up the ground - you can rent one at a home center or rental yard like Uhaul
