    My life is a
    Ben Stiller movie.

    Question lawn mowers

    What's a good lawn mower in the 200 or less range? This "home-owner" shit sucks.

    I did my front yard up in "desert landscape" (basically rock and cactus) so I don't have to water or mow it.

    Then again I live in the desert and the city (Tempe) gave me $250 towards the cost of converting from grass to rock.

    I use an electric mower to do the roughly 10,000 sq ft I have that is my back yard. Only half of that is grass though.

    It's better for your grass to mulch then to use a bag.

    Exactly and the fresh cut grass adds additional nutrients into the growing grass. I don't bag leaves either and I have a good size maple in my front yard and a huge oak in the back. Mulching up the leaves in cycles keeps my grass lookin' very green.

    it's ok to mulch it later in teh summer when the shit is thinnign out-but during spring, it'll just clump up-i used to do landscaping for my bro all the time, so i know how this shit works. WE just always had premo lawnboys and walk-behinds. Now i need a suzie home-maker model

    If it clumps up you're letting it get too tall before you cut it. Cut it more often.

    personally i think a bagger is a pain in the ass, havin to dump it and sh*t . . . hey if your wantin to get exercise . . . dont use a bagger and go out rake up any major clumps still should leave enough clippings to give back nutrients

    Best time to mow is in the evening as the sun is setting. Makes all the 'green' people happy too.
