yes our garden
That looks like a backyard to me, but what do I know.

Obviously, not the obvious. You should know where he lives...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden#Etymology
The term "garden" in British English refers to a small enclosed area of land, usually adjoining a building. This would be referred to as a yard in American English.

It is interesting to see someone specifically call out a gas mower instead of just saying - I got a mower.
but perhaps in the UK, the push/manual type are super common?

I think there are some electric ones on the market now too.

There are - I've only ever seen them with a power cord though - I wonder if they have battery powered ones now? I'd be surprised if they didn't.

They do, I've seen them in hardware stores.

Everything that's been petroleum powered is getting battery options.
Bosch, eGo, Milwaukee, Ryobi etc are really pushing the battery operated gardening tools.Not all are available in the US though... I think you've got a bad case of gas...

Yes i'm in the UK, so that counts as a garden here :). We did have an electric mower (with the cord) but found it a pain getting it plugged in as we needed extension cords running through the house.
So bought a petrol/gas mower, also the wife didn't like the height the old one cut the grass. This one goes low.
Yes battery was an option, but we got this on a deal.

Now power outlet on the back of the house?
How deep is that yard? 10 x 20 meters? From the picture it looks like a 50 ft extension cord would get most if not all of it.

I have a battery powered one. It's a Ryobi, and I love it! If my yard gets out of hand (it usually does in the spring & summer), I can cut the yard (front and back -- it's like 3/4 of an acre) on 2 batteries. (I have 2). If it's just a regular cutting, I can usually do both on one battery.

You asking a deaf man that question? :crazy_face:
It's nowhere near as loud as a gas powered one, but it ain't exactly whisper quiet either. If you have a lot of thick grass, you'll hear it ramp up a bit to cut. For my small yard, it's awesome. I can cut front and back in ~30 minutes or so if I don't get interrupted and have to stop.

I had a Ryobi for years, cutting about 1/3 acre. If I waited over 5 days in a typical summer <average rainfall or higher>, it would take a little over an hour. Cutting it more often is the trick. Also, I cut it on mulch and it's self propelled. I have a gas powered one now.... no real reason for one over the other. Both do the trick.
