Oddly, Tabitha, I relate to your nails based on my own experience with weeding my yard. (There’s a connection! Trust me!)
Having cleaned up our yard (okay, just the front, really, but some on the sides) and mulched it (and remulched, and overmulched, and… there was mulch involved, okay? leave it at that) I now feel a need to keep our flower beds as weed-free as possible. So I can fully understand you wanting to keep your nails in top shape once you invested the time and effort.
Our yard still looks pretty good. I hope your nails continue to make you happy as well!
