I just came across this non electric snow shovel. I know it would be pretty useless for those with a lot of the white stuff but is it worthwhile for lighter loads?

I grew up with warnings about staying of the lawn when it is icy to avoid damaging the grass. As a child I half resented that as my desire to play outside was more important. Now I find myself repeating the cycle from the nagging perspective! Does it really matter though?

Anyone here using a stand on rather than ride on mower? I read somewhere that they are popular with some because they take up less space but I would expect them to be harder to drive.

I love this forum and find it easy to navigate and full of good people/information which is great. Sometimes though there is something I want to say/ask that is general in nature but still related to mowers and so on. Instead of posting to the Front porch could we have a section for 'all those...

Looking at the variety of ride on mower styles available I noticed that only a few have a higher backed seat. I would think that more would go this route as the benefits for posture and back support would be a good selling point. Or am I missing something?

I was just reading about the John Deere 100 and x300 series. I didn't realise that cruise control is a standard on these, that sounds like a great option to have. The residential market mowers look great, and I assume they are aimed at those with large lawn areas around their house. Is there any...

A friend was telling me about a rather radical method of pruning roses. Simply take a chainsaw to them! Not randomly like some kind of bad B movie, but in an organised way. Evidently they grow back to be even more magnificent than you could imagine. Hmmm, not sure I could do it. Anyone here tried?

Someone just asked me if it is too late in the year to seed their newly turned over ground which was previously a veggie patch. The weather here is still quite mild but rainy on and off as always! I thought early October would be the cut off point but maybe it's worth a try?

We haven't bought our ride-on as yet but I just realised that in the winter we are going to have to ride it on a (private) road which is always icy and on an incline. Are there special tyres you guys use for grip on the ice?

Here in the UK there are plenty of people trying to be greener by using cooking oil (new or used) in their vehicles. I know it is possible with a diesel rather than petrol engine, question is would you try it with your mower?

While a larger mower is obviously the choice for large areas what do you do for the smaller pieces of grassed land that you can't reach? Is a strimmer good enough?

Just wondering what kind of safety features there are on the lawn tractors out there. If you are buying something that will be around when curious young children are playing nearby what do you look for as standard? Cheers.

I have to start thinking seriously about what to buy to deal with our new land acquisition. Basically its around five acres of overgrown weeds right now. I know I will have to deal with that before buying a mower, but I'm pretty sure there is grass underneath it! Is a sit down mower the only...

Hello everyone. I'm not sure this is the right place to post a greeting but I saw a few others here so hopefully I'm okay. I'm British and have a really nice old cottage with around 1/5 acre of garden. Most of it is lawn and we have managed with a Black and Decker walk behind since living here...
