I just received an advert-email touting the advantages
of their reel type, manual push lawn mowers.
It made me wonder if there is a battery-powered
unit available - as many other hand tools and yard
tools are now battery-powered.
I'm just curious, as my half-acre doesn't lend itself
to a 20 inch mower.

If you search for battery electric cylinder mowers you will find lots.
Which will be suitable for half an acre I have no idea though. I canAt >visualise areas like that. I think youAd need to take advice from a
dealer.
That said, the time it takes to cut with your present mower should give you >some indication of what sort of duration youAre looking for and battery
size (or number of batteries).

Dunno Cylinder and Acres. Just me tuppence.
My garden is about 70 sq.metres (= 0.0172974 Acres) and I've got a
Makita battery rotary mower which readily swallows the juice from a
couple of 3Ah LXT batteries, so I keep a second set precharged to
complete the 30 minute job. For me they share duty being used in other
power tools round here.
I've considered getting larger cells, but the price of a second charger
is minor in comparison.
I suspect tool batteries are probably not the answer for very large areas.
I'd love something straight out of science fiction where ye could sweep
a laser beam across the whole areas, and if by magic the whole job would
be complete in 20 seconds and the cuttings neatly evaporated.

I've been looking at robot mowers. I was put off by the need for a perimeter wire or hard border but the newer ones use video imagery analysis and can
wok out for themselves where the lawn starts and ends. A bit pricey, thobut.

Poor Suey! Why would you want to chop her?

I tend to view zbjvat the lawn in the same light as beard-pruning;
in other words, something to be done only rarely then roughly
accomplished with minimum rssbeg. Scalp it back to ground level
so as to maximise the time until it's next needed.

You can wok that out for yourself.

Pshurely that would detract from a salubrious evening sitting out on
the manicured lawn, Pims (other beverages are available) in hand?

I currently consider the Greenhouse as a Sauna. though it does
frighten the neighbours cats (so no downside).

I would imagine that it frightens the neighbours too, if they can see you sitting in there.

I think the chap 2 doors down has finished the roofing work now, so I
should be safe. The cat(s) have found more places to crap. DNAMHIKT.
