Yard Machines 19″ corded electric mulching lawn mower
Now, electric mowers are not for everyone; if you have a huge yard or a lawn service you are still going to need to burn some fossil fuels to get the job done. But for the rest of us it is worth switching over to an electric mower like this Yard Machines 19″ corded electric mulching lawn mower. It works as either a mulcher or a rear bagger and is available from Clean Air Gardening for $229.99
I grew up fascinated by Gasoline engines, and learned my way around a wrench by working on the family’s gas powered lawn mower. I felt kind of sad when I pushed my last gas powered lawn mower out to the curb. I soon added the gas powered string trimmer that had stopped working to the pile as well. But I’m a realist; and the facts are that small gasoline powered motors pound for pound are not small polluters. Couple that with all the oil changes, tune ups, and runs to the gas station it was becoming evident that an electric machine was really the way to go. I’ve never looked back.
