best lawn mower large garden image
Q. I am a bit of a noob in the garden and I have seen all different types of lawn mowers its all very confusing to be honest. I was wandering if any one with a keen green thumb could help me out. And also does any one know if lawnrake mowers are the same as lawn mowers; they look identical and I am easily confused...
Answer
Lawn rake mowers, don't mow they do what they say they rake the grass/ leaves into the bagger on a tractor....
I would get a 42 inch craftsman, they are cheep ( craigslist) and parts are everywhere, also mine has a snow plow....bonus for winter time

Do you service your lawn mower and sharpen the blade at the end of the season or in the spring?
Q. Are you using a mulching lawn mower, or are you still bagging the cuttings?
Answer
I was always told by the old men at the hardware store in my city that all good tools would last nearly a lifetime if they were cleaned properly after each use. So, always did that....and my children were glad to get all my gardening and other tools when I sold my house....they had all been top quality tools when I bought them, and I cleaned and oiled them after each use.
So, I think you should clean & service your lawn mower at the end of the season.
I liked bagging the cuttings. Would edge the lawn first...then blow all the edgings into the lawn. Then I would run the mower over the lawn....and have very little to "blow" later....as the mower picked up all the edging debris that had been blown into the lawn. I liked having the grass clippings to take to a large compost area in my back yard....where I was like an old witch brewing up my "special compost".
I think leaving the clippings in the lawn leads to poor aeration of the soil....creates a thatched barrier prone to mold as it decomposes. Just my opinion.
