It was a joke referring to skyhucks avatar location thingy and stev blairs comment:blushing:

Thought you had a little man that cuts your grass Mr Huck.

 

.

 

Yes I have had gardeners for the last 8 years and they have done a great job at a good price, but I have some new guard dogs (as my old one died)

I don't want these dogs getting used to strange men coming into the garden once a fortnight, as my old one became a very poor guard because of this.

TCD maybe i know Huck, maybe i have seen his lawn, maybe i have actually sat on it and walked over it, maybe i have an idea of what he is looking for and have a rough idea what he wants to spend, maybe i took all the information that i had and put it all together and came up with the suggestions above for those very reasons. This isnt a thread started by the head greenkeeper at Glen Eagles the week before a world open.

Thatch doesnt come from cut grass it comes from dead grass falling over, if it did come from cut grass why do greenkeepers box off in the summer months?

Mulchers have their place, and Huck i think that place is in your garden. I also know you have 4 kids that run all over your garden and this is the best thing for keeping away moss as much as possible. So the high height of cut from a mulching head will be cancelled out.

Give your lawn a good rake with a couple of bulldogs rakes a couple of times a year and it will be tip top. Maybe even a wee drop weed and feed, but dont spoil it, keep it tough:thumbup1:

Know what you mean i have customers who have guard dogs that lick me to death.

One of my new ones gripped Todd (my groundie) the other day, I want them to stay that way.

 

Todd is OK (four puncture wounds and some bruising) and took it in good heart, fortunately.

how about a protea mower with all the trimmings including a sulky seat?

[Stevie Mac]

I maintain the grounds for our landlord and a major part of that is cutting the grass. I use his westwood sit on that has a grass collector. During the cutting season I get one lap of the paddock done before I have to empty it. My next door neighbor has a mulcher and I get very jealous of him every time he's out cutting.

 

But I cant complain to much has we get to live rent free in there house while they live in France.

Ive an old countax that I use for my hilly patch. It does ok, but next one will be better on slopes (side slopes especially), out front deck (for round the fruit trees etc) and a mulcher. The kids and dogs can live with the clippings for a while. I'm sick of filling 4 wheely bins with clippings every week in the summer. 9/10 times I can cut but not pick up as I cut, cos its too damp, so it doubles the job time, picking it up after a couple days drying.

 

Sounds like you need a hydraulic cutter deck for the mog crane, just park up next the garden and stroll 'n' mow with the remote:lol:
