Have You Heard of Bluetooth earmuffs?

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.

Getting a Good Cut With a Smaller Cylinder Mower

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.

Using a Wearable Umbrella to Help Keep Cool

Want to Mow Lawn Stripes?

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.

Do You Want to Mow Less?

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.
