Do you look forward to mowing the lawn every weekend? I definitely despise it. I have terrible allergies, and I can think of much better ways to spend that weekend afternoon. Xbox, eating, or some kind of fun exercise. Great news is on the horizon for those of us that are suffering from allergies or just plain lazy, the SmartMow is a lawn mowing robot, and needs little to no intervention to mow the lawn completely! The SmartMow is not as cheap as your normal lawn mower. About $750, but you can forget about mowing during the weekends entirely. SmartMow is a low-cost solution and environmentally sound device for mowing the lawn. The grass chomping bot works similar to electric pet boundaries with a perimeter wire.

This is the first sign that spring has arrived. It is hard to believe it is already that time a year when we start thinking about storing our lawnmowers in preparation for the fall and winter months. By winterizing your lawnmower it will extend the mower's life and performance. If possible, store your mower in a shed or garage. If you don't have a shed or a garage make sure your lawnmower is covered well. If you have a cordless mower, there is no winterizing, just make sure to keep your lawnmower clean, and have the battery serviced. When you mow your lawn for the last time of the season, start taking the preparation steps to storing you gas lawnmower. Make sure your lawnmower is stored with a full tank of gas, and make sure to use a gas stabilizer such as STA-BIL. The stabilizer will keep the gas in your lawnmower from gumming up, and it keeps your gas fresh. If you drain your tank it may cause the carburetor gaskets to crack and dry out. Leaving gas in your mower will also help with leaks and hard starting next spring. Make sure to tighten all the nuts and bolts, and spray moving parts with W-40, or a product like this. Make sure to clean all grass clippings from the blades and underneath the mower so they do not mold or rust. Unplug the spark plugs, replace the air filter, and change the oil. This is a good time to have your lawnmower blades sharpened. Often times we wait till next spring and never get around to it. After the blades are sharpened, spray the blade with a spray oil. Most of the products needed to winterize your lawnmower can be found in your lawn and garden center of your department store. Even though it sometimes feels like a hassle to winterize our mower, it certainly is a better option to take the time now and winterize your lawnmower properly, than face high repair bills in the future. Also, even if you do have storage for your lawnmower, still cover it. This will keep
