When the Globe and Mail came to us asking about our favourite Garden products, The Gardena’s manual 380C Hand Reel Lawnmower was among the top of the list.  For small urban properties a manual push-mower is more than adequate.

A 2001 Swedish study concluded, “Air pollution from cutting grass for an hour with a gasoline powered lawn mower is about the same as that from a 100-mile automobile ride.” Small gasoline engines produce disproportionately high amounts of carbon monoxide, VOC’s and nitrogen oxides, these are major smog producers and have very negative health impacts. Most importantly, these mowers are quiet so your neighbors can host that alfresco dinner party in peace, while you mow to your heart’s content.
