Is it okay to clean out a lawn mower's air filter using water?

I checked the air filter, and it was clogged up with dirt. So, I washed it using a garden hose. It's now drying in our shop. Can I reuse this filter? Or do I need to just get a new one?


Answer
Just about all small engines like mowers, weed whackers, snow blowers etc... have a sponge like air filter. The filter can be rinsed or even washed with soap and water for reuse. It is advised, once the filter is dry, before replacing it is to moisten it with a bit of clean, light oil, like 3 in one or mineral oil. This will help the filter to last longer as well as making it more effective at trapping particles.

You just need to apply a few drops to the filter then give it a few wringings to get the whole filter a light oily feel, kind of like your hands after eating buttered toast.

Will small peach tree survive after being hit with lawn mower?

The peach tree is really small and I didn't realize until too late that I ran it over with a mower. Will the tree live? It's basically like a little stick coming out of the ground that is split down the middle now.


Answer
It might--if the root stock is intact, it may regenerate. Use some duct tape or twine and tie the two halves back together and water it well--and put a small garden fence around the tree so you don't run over it again. If it dies, replant with another tree. But give it time--it won't show new growth immediately.
