If you are not an activist when it comes to taking care of our environment, the rising cost of gas is probably going to easily turn you into a conservationist. Gas prices continue to climb. Personally, going to the gas station with my little red gas can is not a trip of leisure, it has always been a chore.
Most people, if not everyone, are aware that gas-powered mowers hurt our planet. It is estimated that 1 hour of lawn mower use equals driving an SUV 100 miles. Lawn mowers create 5% of our country's pollution. And if one takes the time to browse the internet, even scarier statistics show up.
Fertilizers and weed killers are contaminating our rivers and streams. Unfortunately, herbicides from yards in Minnesota reach the Mississippi Delta just as badly as those coming from yards in Arkansas. We waste so much time worrying about terrorists tempering with our water supply and in the end, we are the ones who do the most damage.
Even as more cities are putting on water restrictions, lawn sprinkler companies are hard pressed to keep up with demand. In the hottest and driest months, it is very easy to see multiple sprinklers working full time, even during rainy days.
So what can we do to keep our yards looking nice without doing harm to the environment? Robotic lawn mowers are not the only answer, but they surely are one answer.
Robotic lawn mowers can be programmed to mow at certain times and go back to their charging station without a human having to do anything in the process. One of the perks of owning one of these mowers is that one has to invest no time at all in yard maintenance. The second is the less time people spend doing yard work the less money they are going to spend on their yards. And of course, with less herbicides and pesticides being used, our underground water remains clean.
Grass that is allowed to grow too tall and then is chopped really short can develop thatch. Thatch occurs when long dead grass lays on top of short, new grass and prevents it from getting moisturized; in very hot days, it also acts as a blanket. Robotic lawn mowers only cut the tips of the grass. Since the volume of cut grass is small, it has a chance of breaking down without causing damage and adding, in fact, extra nutrients to the new grass. This means the need for less water and less application fertilizer, yet a much lusher and greener yard.
Robotic lawn mowers run on batteries, they burn no gas or oil. It is estimated that it costs only $7.00 a year in electricity to mow all season long. Those are amazing savings!
Since the components are of higher quality, the average life of a robotic lawn mower is about 10 years, approximately the same as a riding lawn mower of good quality.
In summary, robotic lawn mowers emit no pollution, are fully autonomous, and will dramatically reduce the need for watering and fertilizers while making your yard even more green and beautiful. Help our environment and save on time, money and work.
