Knowing it was about extermination I just knew that video would feature baseball caps, pick up trucks and rock music in equally large measure!

I bought a battery lawn mower. Its been going strong for 3 years now. Its an excellent buy.

I like the idea. It's making me wish I had a battery lawn instead of grass.

Mines died again, last time it was a faulty socket at the lawnmower end of the cable, this time it's the switch along with part of the switch housing having broken. Repairable but 6 weeks before parts are available so a cable bodge coming up for the next cut of the lawn; the mains in is well buried in the socket so the wires that should go to the switch can safely be pushed into the socket; just always on.

I got fed up with trailing cord everywhere and constantly moving it, so gave up with the electric mower. A petrol mower is a bit overkill for my 8x7M garden. So I bought a manual reel mower which makes a better cut. You have to keep on top of it though, as it won't cut through very long grass. View attachment 602957

Yep i do the same. Good exercise and never any trouble. Have a lot of grass cut by the same time I would have got the old mower out of the shed.

I just bought a manual cylinder mower, gives the grass a great cut, no electrics needed, best thing i bought in a while.

Concrete it and paint it green

Astro Turf it, there's a few five-a-side pitches being pulled up near where the Yorkshire Post building was, with the Astro Turf going in the skip.
