....... anyone got one? I can no longer do it myself and pay out a lot to have it done. I have seen a robot lawn mower reduced in amazon and am very tempted. Anyone got one and have any advice?

Also the one I am looking at can cope with a 25% gradient and I am puzzling how to calculate what gradient the small slope in my garden is - I should, have listened during maths!! Any bright suggestions gratefully received!

But in the main I think wild flowers fail to compete with grass.

Yes, which is why we rake mowings up.

Also much of our 'lawns' are mosses, rushes and sedges. Grasses too but not the best kind of lawn grass. At the last count we had identified 222 wild plants in the garden. There are some cultivated species as well.

fancythat

A relative has had this one for a while,and likes it.
It manages slopes.
What it doesnt like are ditches.

I would love one of those for my at least 45 degree lawn. No price on the link, but elsewhere various models are priced up to £6,000!
I think I shall have to stick with my £15 a fortnight strim by a village gardener/handyman. sad

DD has Murdo, he trundles around and the dog ignores him! It used to take my SiL four hours every weekend to mow the lawn. Murdo is wireless.
