Category questions

What should I look for in a mower for a larger garden

Look for a wider cutting width, a decent sized grass box and enough power to cope with your grass type. Self propelled mowers help if you have slopes or a lot of area to cover.

How do I manage long gardens without miles of cables

Cordless tools or a well planned outdoor power socket layout help. Long hoses and hose reels also make it easier to water far corners without constant reconnecting.
