opinions on verti mowers

 Lawns need a bit of TLC and with temps in high 40ś here
spiking the lawns with a pitch fork is getting all to hard .

Thinking of hiring a verti mower    never having used one
any clues or opinions ?

 Yes. Get rid of the lawn, plant some drought tolerant bushes, preferably
berries etc, and mulch them
Sell your mower and sit tin your deck chair drinking some VB's with the well
earned rest, and profit from the mower.....
Lawns are overated. PS you may have to join your local gym, as you will
loose fitness....

Thanks Jonno  all good advice   except the lawns are watered by  ground
hyper saline water
That goes through a Solar still and  desalinated  so I am trying to
return decent water to the ground water table  thus   doing my bit for
soil salinity
and playing about with solar   matters is a hobby and part of my job

Also no excess water bills :)
In addition   keeps the place a lot cooler  and  less use of the air
conditioners

Nice   shade cloth  15x 15  structure out the back (with black poly on
top to pre heat the water before it goes to the solar still )
camper chairs and table  with chess board and speakers  on nice COOL
grass :)

Out side air temp   at moment is 41 inside the REFUGE is a lovely 32
sort of a big kimberly cooler

I want to shade about 600 Square metres   AFTER i get the lawns sorted
out hence  my question .

That way  can add extra solar still modules and increase the improved
water  return .


In winter  when it hits ZERO here substitute shade cloth  with hot house
film  and  add 400 metres of garden   divided into 10x 10 modules

Still at the moment is producing 3000 litres of water suitable for
gardens  if not human consumption :(


Going for a grant on a pyramid  made of glass or poly carbonate

as a town statement and community garden project  using  the improved
solar still technology  .

Now back to VERTI mowers  :)

 

Can you tell those blokes in Canberra that if you can do this, they can
reduce their power bill too by some innovations...?
PS must have cost you a pretty penny....
