Grass needs to get mown soon.

What mower you got?

An Uzi

A Flymo. But not one of the hover ones. I wanted one with wheels as the lawn is over 120 ft long.

Had it a good few years now though and was thinking of replacing it this spring.

I've got just under 100 M2 front and back and picked up one of these last year. The grass-catcher is a SOB to secure in exactly the right place but otherwise it's cheap and cheerful abd does the job.

We have a Flymo Hover. Fortunately Dad cuts the grass most of the time but when I have done it I get really annoyed having to keep hold of the handle to keep it on!

2 goats 4 sheep

I have a Peter Gabriel

Some sort of petrol one. I don't see it for months on end so don't remember it's name and spec etc. I don't miss it.

But I will wheel it out and service it probably at the end of the month. I'll let youse know how that goes.

I also have a back up electric mower which I acquired from father in laws garage when he sold his house along with many other useful garden implements.

Looking forward to getting the raised beds I built from my old decking and filled with free compost from the council recycle centre into action. I say free but I paid £1 each for the reusable bags and have probably shipped a ton of compost in them so far. Word on the street is they've got some new compost in so I'm off on a raid tomorrow.

I pay for the green bin to be emptied and my neighbour shares it.
In return he cuts my grass, suits us both.

An old Flymo. Those ones with wheels don't work on lawns on a hillside and I have two. Mowers that catch the grass in a bucket also don't work on hills.

This one is pretty good and as much juice as you’ll get from a battery one. #HumbleBrag I very almost got a ride on one cos I get an hour out of this one but it takes about 2/3 charges to do the lot but there’s too many levels. Should get a petrol one really but can’t be arsed getting petrol to fill it up all the time

Oregon LM 300
Battery mower which I have had for about fours years , works a treat,nice and light and easy to manoeuvre never going back to petrol or a corded one.

Does it cost a lot to charge up? Batteries easy/cheap to replace?

Had the same battery since new and I cut two parts of lawn one 14 x 8 mts the other 10 x 4 mts on one charge no idea of cost to charge but I imagine not alot,new battries are around £100.00.
