Some love mowing, while others hate it. Whether you are a lover or a hater of mowing, there are some gadgets and knick-knacks out there that can help make your time out mowing fun!
Safety comes first! Wearing protective earmuffs is important to help prevent your ears from damage. But why wear regular earmuffs when you can take it one step further and listen to your favourite tunes!
There is an excellent range of Bluetooth ear muffs available on the market, but one readily available from Bunnings is the 3M Work Tunes Call Connect Bluetooth Ear Muffs. Reviews rave about their battery life, easy setup, and excellent earmuff quality, making mowing a more fun and enjoyable experience.
Have you ever wanted to enjoy a nice cold bevvy when mowing but had nowhere to put it? With the Mower Mate, you can now enjoy your beer when you are on the go, mowing your lawn! The mower mate attaches to any mower handle with its sturdy clamp with no fiddly attachments.
If you are following any of the lawn care pages, you have probably seen the hype around this mower. The Ozito Cylinder Mowers are cheap, fun to mow with plus provide a great result which is pleasing to the eye.
The Ozito mowers adjustable cutting height is between 14-38mm, cutting a bit higher than larger cylinder mowers. The Ozito Cylinder Mower is battery powered. Please note you do need to buy the rechargeable battery separately. This battery is also compatible with many other Ozito home and garden tools.
When mowing on those hot summer days, you can work up quite a sweat! So to help combat the heat, why not use a wearable fan to help you keep your cool!
The O2COOl Deluxe Necklace Fans sit around your neck like a necklace, providing a strong vertical airflow, and it has three-speed settings while being quiet and lightweight.
While we are on the topic of staying cool, blocking out the sun and sun safety is a top priority. Wearable umbrellas will provide you with some of the best protection when mowing on a hot summer’s day, while helping you keep cool.
However, we do understand wearable umbrellas might not be everyone’s style, but a more conventional option like the iconic Bunnings Straw Hat might be more your cup of tea when shielding the sun off your face on those hot summer days.
Adding a roller to your mower will help you get some stripes on your lawn, even when using a standard rotary mower! Stripes will show more after regularly mowing in the same pattern when using a roller.
The Toro Lawn Striping Kit will attach to most brands of 18” and 22” walk-behind mowers. If you are after some tips on perfecting your lawn stripes, check out our blog here.
If mowing still isn’t your thing, why not look at using a plant growth regulator (PGR). A PGR will help reduce the number of times you need to mow throughout the warmer months while your lawn is growing at its fastest! PGR’s work by suppressing your lawn’s vertical growth and increasing the lawn’s lateral growth. When it comes to PGR’s we recommend using Primo Maxx.
