What would you experienced lawn people recommend? I'm happy to push the
mower or to go petroldriven, but my lawn is sometimes only 18 inches
wide. eventually I want to put stepping stones in it so the mower would
of course need adjustable blades.

Hi,

Last year I decided to go for a mechanical push mower for my small size
lawn. I went for a slightly more expensive than the bottom of the range
(homebase/B&Q) and paid about £50 for it. I have to say that I have
absolutely no regret at all: I had no idea that it was so easy (at least
when the blades are well sharp). I did my lawn last saturday without
problem, eventhough it was quite high and wet. Not sure about the size
of the blade, but I think it would do fine in 18 inches stips.

Thanks, for this, Philippe - do you know what make it was and also
(girlie qn) how do you KEEP the blades sharp?

I think it is an Alko Classic 28 (it's a 28cm blade). I guess you can
sharpen the blade yourself, but the best is to go to a local shop to
have it resharpen. The guy who sold me the mower said that it should not
be more often than every one or two years. I used mine for one season
and so far, I haven't really notice a decrease in efficiency.
