The power of push

I am very grateful to my fellow allotmenteers at Stanmore Winchester for having the good sense to have invested in a manual lawnmower. It was such a joy to use. I had to wonder why petrol or electric lawnmowers have ever become so popular, inasmuch as this lawn mower, being so much lighter than petrol ones was just as easy to push. It has the advantage of being fairly quiet. The simplicity of its mechanism makes it low maintenance,and extremely long lasting.

Furthermore petrol lawnmowers (obviously)use petrol, which is not just a financial burden ,but a moral one when you consider the strangle hold the petrochemical industry has on the planet.

Maybe a motor mower has the edge for large estates with acres of lawn(horrid)but for us the lightness and maneuverability and quietness of a hand pusher is definitely the way to go.along with a grass hook for longer patches of grass and herbs.

If you are thinking of getting a grass cutter i urge you to be kind to your neighbours ,to the planet,and to yourself, and consider a hand pusher.

Oh another thought .A hand pusher might just save you some gym bills
