Mowed mine today as well.

I have an electric mower because I don't want to be inhaling fumes the whole time, but the battery is barely big enough to cover my whole yard and sometimes I have to leave my lawn with a mohawk over night.

I don't want to say because it's kinda gross. Let's just say it's a tribute to There's something about Mary.

Might be time to brave the fumes of the gas mower, tommy. Or else a voltage upgrade.

I could buy a second battery, but they're mighty expensive.

yes, i am very upset about my lawn dying. i had about a week where i watered twice a day every other day, but i felt that was too wasteful.

there are only scattered patches of lush green to mow. it's so disappointing.

My yard to let my lawn go dormant in the summer. It looked dead, but once the rain and autumn rolled back around it was greener than pickle.

Do you leave it plugged in all the time? Some batts, you’re not supposed to.
