Get a fly mower that is powered by electrickery and hovers on it's own air
cushion. They are light to use and you can quickly become an expert with
them. They are great around tight spots that include lots of curves because
you don't have to turn the wheels, and you can swing it from side to side
and around corners.

They won't handle the heavy clumping grasses like green panic unless you are
prepared to take your time, but apart from that...

Hope this helps,
Peter

the time has come to buy a motor mower

age is winning the battle

so im looking for a gentle power mower, something that wont destroy my
lawn
my garden would take less than half an hour with a power mower, but i
really
do want the least agressive machine possible im told that mowers with
four cutting blades are less damaging than those with two the garden
is
filled with trees, so has lots of curves and corners, and no large
expanses
of grass

any comments or suggestions on what to buy (shudder) would be appreciated
