Tracy the problem with the goats is they will eat other things besides the
weeds. Lol

My neighbor showed me his string trimmer, and let me whack some weeds with
it.  It's not at all like I thought it was.  It looks perfectly doable, with
reasonable caution, so I'll be looking into getting one.
I've thought of hiring someone, but then I observe the mess the neighbor's
landscapers make, and I know I can do better myself.  Those guys are like
anti-advertisements.
I did hire a gardener I know to pull a massive amount of weeds, including
one tribe that were taking over a whole section.  Now we're researching
low-growing grasses and flowers to put in where all those weeds were taken
out.  She identifies the weed as henbit, which I think is a funny name. 
Nella, I could use a visit from your goats!
