I'm itching for an excuse to buy or build a petrol lawnmower[0] I've built a self-powered[1] topper mower but it's a bit of a handful to lug around the garden. It's also prone to chewing up the grass with its wheels and, as the wheels are very widely spaced and the lawn not flat, of scalping high points, too.

I used to use my cylinder mower strictly left to right (the cable comes in at the near left side) but really our lawn is a bit rough for it and I' don't mow it often enough either, so I now use K's flymo. Initially I mowed in lanes as I used to with the cylinder, but found that this left lines of grass cuttings that I'd have to rake up, so now I sort of scythe it from side to side moving slowly forward, and work my way back and forth in a series of very broad stripes. Cable's rarely a problem with that technique either. -- -Pip

You could if you don't care if your guitar drops off your shoulder every now and again. -- Beav |
