A sadist! Isn’t it funny that you should ask that question, because I asked my Grandma Putt the same thing thirty-eight years ago, and she knew the answer. She said, “Junior” (that’s me), “Mr. Hills invented the lawn mower in 1868.” So, now you know as much as I do.

Yes, trees often are wounded by careless use of yard equipment like lawn mowers, weed whips, and other trimming equipment. These injuries cut through important vascular tissue just inside the bark, which can lead to decay and ultimately death of the tree. A bed of mulch around the tree eliminates the need to trim or mow close to the tree's base. Extreme care should be taken when digging up or tilling the soil under a tree. See similar questions...

Reel push mowers are widely recognized as the superior cutting method for the health of the grass plant. Lawn grass forms a dense interwoven network of growth just above soil level. This network is a key element in the lawn’s desirable ability to retain moisture and crowd out weeds. The scissors-like cutting action of the reel mower cuts the grass blades cleanly, gently and precisely, with a minimal disturbance to the grass plant's natural growth pattern.

No. The DR? will leave a slightly rougher cut. This results from the DR? cutting grass just once, then throwing it off, as opposed to the re-cutting action of a blade. For some this is an advantage, since the DR? leaves no clumps and can mow in wet conditions. The DR? is also ideal for mowing at vacation sites, and if you are not concerned with an absolutely level lawn groomed with a sharpened steel blade. See similar questions...

The lawnmower sound of your average PC is due to the cheap design of that manufacturer. For example, the PowerMac G5 includes nine fans, but under normal usage is much quieter than a standard PC due to intelligent engineering and fan rotation throttling. G5s generate a lot of heat and require a lot of power, so if you already tolerate the fans needed for the PowerMac G5, an Intel chip will be a big improvement. See similar questions...

Flower essences were first developed in the 1930's by the English physician, Edward Bach.
