Out of all the lawn maintenance tasks, mowing is the most time consuming. However, it is one of the best ways to develop an actively growing, lush lawn. The first lawn mower was introduced in 1830 and ever since, homeowners have spent time arguing about the right way to go about cutting grass. Some swear by riding mowers while others swear by manual push mowers.
Motorized lawn mowers consume fuel and are therefore definitely not eco-friendly. The green house gases emitted by the burning of fuel, adds some more pollution to the environment. However, manual lawn mowers are powered by you pushing it rather than by a motor. Therefore zero pollution is the foremost advantage. To make mowing more easy, Florian Hauswirth has designed the lawn mower bicycle, an innovative lawn mower which employs an old push and pull mower welded with the front portion of a folding bike which might have been thrown away in trash.
He has not only saved the environment from being polluted but have also saved some part of the landfills from getting occupied. With all these advantages, there has also been an economic advantage where money has been saved, which would have been wasted in buying a new mower and may be an expensive one.
Another benefit of this lawn mower is that if you don’t get time for exercise, you can physically exert yourself and lose some extra pounds while biking in your lawn. Mowing your garden this way will not only win appreciation for your garden but also make your personality attractive.
