Mower Matters

The dedicated mowers are far more agile than the lawn tractor type designs. With mine you can't mow a adjacent strips in alternate directions. (a walking box pattern is better)

However on the bright side, it is good for towing stuff.

I have got mine stuck on nearly flat ground before! There is a patch of lawn that has a very slight dip that seems to stay waterlogged much longer than the rest, at it is difficult to get enough grip on that bit to even drive across it.

or install ghostery in FF and have it block the scripts that put up the paywall.

Or an add-on for your browser to toggle javascript on/off

Corrected that for you.

Yep, since 1984. Hmm, thats 40 years now.

I just drive round in decreasing circles. I begin by doing the perimeter, then step one width in, with each rotation, finally picking up any bits I have missed. I cannot get the tractor onto it yet, it's far too wet - not even solid enough to walk on - very late drying out this year.

We have a similar patch here, just alongside the fake wishing well. The wishing well was built, to hide a massive tree stump.

That's essentially what I do, although in future I'm going to be stricter with myself about doing the periphery, bits along next to walls, and a couple of holes where sodding bodgers have dug up bees nests (I need to fill those in, too).

Yep, yep.
