QUICKIE WITH BARRY: RYOBI LAWN MOWERS Anyone can have a perfectly mowed lawn, you just need to keep to a few simple rules and use the right mower for your yard. Barry is on hand to help you figure out which mower from the Ryobi range has the features that suit your garden, as well as offer some simple and effective tips to help your lawn be the envy of the street.
TOP TIPS FOR THE PERFECT LAWN A fresh cut lawn is a great way to boost your curb appeal. Use these simple tips to have the neatest yard on the street. WET WEATHER It s not always possible but try not to mow when it s wet out. It doesn t damage your lawn but the grass will clump and give you an uneven cut. GRASS HEIGHT Mow often enough that you only need to remove 1/3 of the lawns height! Try to never scalp or cut your grass too short. It makes your lawn much more likely to be damaged from drought or high temperatures. GRASSCYCLING When you let grass clippings lie on the lawn after cutting, it s called grasscycling. It not only saves you time, no more bagging clippings, but it also saves money with no more yard waste bags or fees. Grass clippings can provide up to 25 percent of your lawn s fertilizer needs, so you ll save some dough on fertilizer, too. However, if it has been a while since you last mowed, you may want to bag your clippings. Cutting too much grass at once can cause your grass to clump when mulched and these grass clumps will inhibit sunlight from reaching the live grass underneath.
Ryobi 175cc 46cm Petrol Push Mower Petrol lawnmowers are great for large backyards and this model has a powerful and trusted Yamaha 175cc engine. More torque means you can handle longer, thicker grass so if you don t mow regularly or just have a large lawn area, this could be a good option for you. The deck has a large 460mm cutting path that helps reduce the number of passes required to cut your lawn. And all of the components for the 3 in 1 Mulch/Catch/Side Throw system are included so you can mulch the grass and use the side discharge chute to clear the grass as you mow. The lawnmower also features collapsible handles, which enable the product to be greatly reduced in size for compact storage and transportation.
