Many of you will have noticed recently that the days are shorter, the temperature is dropping and that Christmas is only just around the corner. More important to all of you with gardens, large or small, is the annual tidy before putting your gardens into sleep mode until next spring. This will of course include the pruning and trimming back of hedges and trees, the clearing up of leaves and digging up of diseased or dying plants. However, all of this industrious work creates a whole new problem; waste and what to do with it. We cannot simply leave it lying in our gardens creating an unsightly mess and of course if we ask for our local authority to take it away we simply add to the landfill problem afflicting the UK. Our best alternative is of course to recycle and reuse this so called waste and turn it into one of the most valuable commodities in your garden - good compost. How will we do this you ask?

In this review we shall be looking specifically at petrol self-propelled four-wheel lawnmowers and covering which models are suitable for different size lawns. A quick point to begin with: what do we mean by a small or medium or large-sized lawn? After all, a medium to large sized garden in an urban area would probably be considered pretty small by rural standards. To avoid any initial confusion let us begin by defining lawn size areas. For the purpose of this review a small lawn is any area up to around half a tennis court or so in size whilst a medium sized lawn will be viewed as a lawn between around one half and 2 tennis courts in size. Large sized lawns are considered to be between 2-4 tennis courts in size. Read more »
