Mulching Mowers
Just as an aside, really ...
having used, for the last 3 years, a mulching mower (a ride-on, on a large area of grass, as opposed to a lawn), I personally would never buy a mulcher now. As I've said before here (I think): it's a great idea for climates where there are regular long, warm, dry periods, but in this damp country (especially here Oop North) the clippings do not mulch properly, and -- basically -- make a bloody mess! But hey: maybe you live in the South East where they get the best of British summers (as well)! I don't think you've said how big your lawn(s) will be[1], but if it/they will be quite big, I'd go for a self-drive mower that has a large collection bin. And as I've definitely said here befo "everybody says 'Go Honda'" (where 'everybody' means professional gardeners that I've asked about mowers). And I'd make a lovely big compost heap in a hidden corner of the garden: very satisfying, compost, and a great, cheap, way to get rid of all garden waste[2]. 2p John [1] Well, you said 1/4 acre, but is that the garden, or the lawn itself? [2] Except perennial weeds of course |
