Hmmm .... well, you let me know the second your part of the world has a month straight of temperatures over 100 degrees. It's not the mowing so much that I mind, it's the heat exhaustion, and the fire ants. That and having to service my own damn mower!! I really didn't move hear to learn lawn mower repair.  |
Fire ants must be quite a threat to work around... and rattlers too. We have nothing to fear here than the occasional skunk... and squirrel. 100 degrees? afaik it's never happened here.
I bought a corded electric mower this spring. It's a little on the cheap side but it has multiple functions, there's a helicoidal mower, an aerator, a thatch remover an a brush head to collect debris, leaves, sand or pebbles in the driveway. If the motor dies, it goes.
Summer being so short, I mow the lawn from 8 to 12 times a year. That's why it's possible to like the activity and I do it evenings so the grass can recuperate during the night.
