@hells-caretaker saidI believe he is talking about a lawnmower h-c.
So, you have a garden. The agony of choice. Employ somebody else🤷♂️

-Removed-I am trying to buy one that mulches at the moment, no joy.
My garden is nearly half an acre so no good emptying a box every 5 minutes.
Apparently there is a big shortage due to Brexit, Covid etc.
And yes I know I should get a ride on but its the only exercise I get. Or venture into the garden for that matter.
@the-gravedigger saidI've got an electric, corded one that mulches, with a 100 ft. extension cord so I can reach the whole yard. Just gotta be mindful I don't run over the cord.

@the-gravedigger saidThe mulch should act as a fertilizer and help your lawn I think about a quarter of the nutrients needed is provided by the grass you're cutting. I see people with bags on their lawnmowers and realize they don't know what they are doing. Not long into the summer you see their grass turn yellowish color while mine is still a nice green color. Ok a little something I learned from my Father. 😉 You also have to make sure your wheels aren't too low as you don't want the grass too short that will also burn it. I just use an ordinary gas and oil powered push lawnmower. I'll get the sit on when I can no longer walk well enough. We never know when that time will come.

@orangutan saidWe had one of those. Great for keeping the grass down but they eat everything else as well.
Get a goat.
@the-gravedigger saidYup you are right about that one t-g.

-Removed-i had never heard of a hover mower until today
turns out they've been around for years
i found this
at the 40 second mark the machine catches on one side and tilts more than i would care to mess with
if this was on level ground, maybe
but this vid was shot on a hillside
very precarious
personally, i would recommend a battery powered mower with four wheels unless the plot of land you intend to maintain is overly large
even so, batteries can be charged and swapped more quickly than pouring petrol
@rookie54 saidHere are some very practical four wheelers.
