Question from Annette Tweedel
Hi Debra, We are looking for a healthy lawn mower that does not put out any fumes.
We have a very large yard and not smoothe, along with ditches that my husband mowes. My husband uses our landlords riding lawn mower to mow sometimes. My husband just killed our last push mower by trying to not kill a snake. He missed the snake and killed the lawn mower.lol!
The fumes from that push mower were horrible. I have a reel mower, that I love, but my husband does not like the way it cuts, so he goes back over what I cut.
I have googled electric lawn mowers, and I have found electric and battery operated lawn mowers. But because I cannot handle certain things that are battery operated, I thought that we should stay away from battery operated lawn mowers.
We saw at Home Depot some push mowers. They had electric and battery operated. And they are not cheap. One was self propelled. With a large yard and not smoothe, along with ditches to mow, what would you recommend?
Debra’s Answer
The greenest lawnmower would be a reel mower, but I understand your husband objects.
Next best would be and electric or battery operated mower, because they don’t emit fumes.
Lawn mowers are one of those things that I don’t give a lot of attention to, because the best thing is to not have lawn, and plant fruits and vegetables.
That said, we do have lawn, and I’m working on converting it all to growing beds. My husband does the mowing with a gas push mower, and I stay indoors with the windows closed. Not the best choice, I’ll admit.
