We'll be moving house shortly and going from a lawn the size of a
postage stamp to something around a quarter of an acre. Whilst my little
Black and Decker electric mower has done me proud for the last few years
I don't think it's going to be up to the job at the new place. I quite
enjoy mowing the lawn but I hate the hassle of disposing of the cuttings
so am thinking that a mulching mower is the way forward.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a mulching mower given the
following

1. Must be petrol and self propelled with a decent width (21" or over)
2. Lawn is flat and square (although I will probably put in some borders
and beds so the shape is likely to change)
3. Not bothered about stripes 4. We have a 10 year old daughter so lawn
will be a 'family' type not some perfectly manicured bowling green 5.
Budget around £500

It is a while since I looked at this but I think you have to be prepared
to cut the lawn very regularly to be able to chop the grass down fine
enough to mulch in.

If you cut it every other day in the peak growing season I think almost
any mower will be able to mulch.
