Would mowing be facilitated by stapling the tabs into the grass rather than the garden side?

The tabs are flat on the ground so technically you could mow over them but seem pretty dumb to do so the tabs show. Put them on the other side and cover with mulch, rocks, etc.

I suppose if the situation required you to do so you could. you could cut the sod enough to put the strip in and then cover it back up.

For these to be most effective, the tabs should be on the garden side. These are easily covered by mulch. Putting the tabs into grass would be much less effective, regardless of turf type.

Haven't tried it. But, it sometimes gets grass wrapped around the wheel if cutting too long of grass. I wouldn't try it. Blades are sharp, but mechanics of the mower would make cutting wet grass a mess. ( I would think).

Yes! Much better. Also consider the mulching cover. Together they do a terrific job.

It has the option to have the side discharge, or to collect into the bag on the back. So yes, I think that does make it a mulching mower. We don't use the bag, so I can't say how well that works, but the mower has been a real gem otherwise.

I don't think there is enough drag to negatively affect your lawn mower. As for crab grass, sure, it bends the grass over so it reflects light rays differently to cause the stripe effect. It makes my yard look great.

It is not intuitive. The diagrams are difficult to follow. There is one piece that I have still not managed to add on yet. It does, however, do a good job of mowing the lawn, even though it is not fully functional yet. Remember to purchase the correct extension cord from the hardware store.

I can, yes. With this mower, no. Grass having a striped or checkerboard appearance is accomplished with directional mowing by gang mowers (like you see on golf courses) with a roller behind it to push the grass down. You need good grass for the stripes/patterns to work; bermuda or a good bluegrass with no crabgrass or other weeds is needed. Crabgrass is too coarse. This mower is good for your grass because it cuts each blade like scissors instead of the helicopter-like shearing from a power mower. You need a smooth lawns free of ruts, divots, and holes, and composed of a good-quality grass.

Yes, this could be done by disconnecting an electrical connection. I can not imagine why one who has purchased a self propelled mower would want to do that. Another way is to place your hands at the lower most position possible with the fingers on the outside of the bails and the thumbs on the inside. When in this position the wrists will be facing each other and the heel of each palm will be resting on a flat surface. You can now apply a force parallel to the ground causing the mower to move forward. As long as you do not tilt the bails forward the self propelled mechanism will not be activated.

It can if you cut your grass too deep. Set the cutting height to only cut about 1/2 inch off the length of the blades of grass each time you mow and the grass will work its way back into the soil. Longer cuts will lay on top of the grass and make it harder for you to mow. When my grass is too high due to too much rain before being able to be cut, I use the grass catcher and empty it in a mulch pile I have. I love my Fiskars mower, quiet, easy to push, gives me a quick work out.

I can't say for sure, but I would imagine it would be OK unless you have very hard/compact soil. The first cut may be a little tough, but then you can overlap the next one by, say 50% and go on. Also, to make it easier to remove the unwanted grass, I would make the cut as close to the pavement as possible (the grass growing on top of the pavement is usually very easy to remove - the trickiest thing has been when I want to clear a couple inches to put bark between the pavement and the grass)

No. It is the perfect cage for chicks or rabbits to be able to be on the lawn. It would be easy to staple wire to the bottom or add a piece of wood if you wanted to.

No, you should buy a hay rake for that. Or see if a neighbor can do it for you. There is a huge difference between grass clippings and hay.

Yes, it can mow your grass. It can even serve you lemonade with a tiny umbrella while you're laying on your hammock.

I have never tried that but I guess you could. I don't know how small your lawn is.. I wouldn't want to put too much green grass in it as it might heat but dried leaves would probably work

My experience with mine tells me Yes you can. Keeping it even will be your challenge. With a wide swath lawn mower blade it is easy. However, with this narrow-widthblade your expertise and eye will be required to make your patch of lawn have a low but "even" cut all over.

It's easier then I thought if you can walk it pretty easy to mow the grass with this mower!

as long as you use it like you would a regular type of mower (keep your lines straight, mow in rows) it is fine. My lawn was long the first time I did it so it took a little bit to get used to, but you can't tell the difference in my opinion. You can also adjust the string height in mower mode. Hope this response is helpful.
