    Hello All,

    My last thread seems to have disappeared. Rather disappointing as I was going to give you all an update. Some areas of the lawn have improved, but there are also new completly brown patches.

    I have finally taken delivery of my new mower. Due to great reviews & a super cheap price I got a Bosch Rotak 37. It looks nice, but it is a lot bigger than expected & I'm concerned its going to be hard work on such a small lawn. I decided against a flymo due to the mess it made blowing my bark everwhere, but they are easier to turn. It also makes storage a bit of a problem as they dont seem to have implemented a wall hanging solution for it!

    Not sure whether to use it now, as I'll be better off selling it on as new!

    Any ideas? Thanks

    I cut two "strips" round the outside first, then mow up-and-down. The two-strips gives me room to turn at each end. Dunno if that would work for your lawn though?
