Have you heard of the latest fashion in Horticulture ? Its called rewilding, and sounds suitable for you.
Its a posh way of saying, do far call and just leave it to its own devices.  :y :D

I have a largish lawn and cut it with a Bosch electric mower.  :)

I reckon by the time you guys have faffed about getting your mowers going in the spring, I've done mine and am sat back with a cold beer admiring my handiwork!  8)  :y

I'm guessing that my 2nd hand, clapped out, B&S Sprint powered Hayter Hawk mower is not compatible with E10.

So do I go for high octane, more likely to be E5 or lower, fuel, or replace it.

If I replace, do I risk getting a battery powered mower instead.


Anyone got experience of modern battery mowers?


Hmmm....

Ask your gardener what he/she would prefer    ::)

I bet mine has started, cut both lawns, and is put away before you've even finished pissing around with an extension lead ;)

A good pal of mine does as well.  He spent good money on it, and it does look fantastic to be honest.

But as DG (jokingly?) alluded to, he has to regularly get the vacuum out on it, so probably not labour saving.  Though arguably its quicker and less effort to run a cordless dyson over it than faff around with poxy electric mowers.

Two things I enjoy doing are looking after my lawns & cleaning my vehicles, would never consider plastic grass awful stuff, stands out a mile that it's fake.
