Spent 4 afternoons trying to cut ours, it was 50cm long in places.

I left it too late last year and the first cut took me a good couple of weekends. Awful stuff. I should buy a goat.

I used to have 2 sheep, they kept the grass down a treat until we had a severe drought and I could not get hay to feed them when the grass ran out. They ended up in my freezer.

I'd love that kind of room, even taking into account the work that goes with it.Two weeks ago, this was still under water

We love it, 2 acres, the river and no near neighbours, great for self isolation
Property is so cheap in France, could only dream of a place like this in the UK.
You can get those iRobot mowers. Some have a solar docking station, I think. One of my neighbours has a couple. I see them trundle past during the day.
Saw one last year that had fell of its garden and was upside down in their driveway... Literally fell off the garden.. Not so smart hey... Smarty robot
I'd like to see it deal with spring time 30cm grass... Munch munch jam......

Yes still have .... Lucy and jojo...They are worse. They eat weeds and s**t the seeds out ready fertilised, mowing bracken is harder.
@mikieman you still got the little pooch!
I hope they don’t read this....they don’t know they are little dogs and would be really ****ed at me ...

They run constantly so they're always nibbling - except in winter, or maybe they have less charge and move less in the winter. You can program them to avoid areas, apparently. His seem to manage OK. Biggest danger in his lawn / paddock are the hazards left by his dogs.
Never mind mole hills, dog hills!!!

A robot mower would have a job mowing our grass in winter unless it was a submarine version

My neighbour, now deceased, wasted over £2k on one. He had to peg out a wire to set its cutting limit. He was a right tw*t couldn't work out why it kept trundling off into his flower beds, he thought it was the badgers moving the wire at night.
. He forked out more money for an electric fence . Dont get mad get even I say.
