My cheap lawn mower which was doing my back in but
still worked was dumped at the end of the drive, it was gone the next
day.
If I had not got rid of it I'd be tempted to keep using it - getting
no younger. I will now HAVE to get a new one.
Been thinking of this: Two small lawns.

I favour a sort of cyborg-mower: it ambles around the grass by itself
after the manner of a sheep, but programmed to avoid the flower beds;
then at night it parks itself over a drain and quietly defecates into
the sewer system where its faeces (along with waste from human
sources) are converted to methane to be stored for useful purposes.

It ought to be possible to genetically engineer cattle in much the
same way - it would save the farmers a lot of work. One can
toilet-train dogs, so why not cattle?

This sounds ideal.
Do you have a link to such a machine?
I can't find one. But, as you are such a clever **** I expect that you will
know of a supplier.



there are several autonomous mowers, they potter around and then go home
to recharge, they don't collect the clippings, since the cut is frequent
the cuttings are tiny and self mulch. about 700 quid upwards, argos sell
at least one type
