The wire is either buried underground via professional installation, or pinned down DIY. Within a month, it's gone. The clippings form a new substrate over the top of it. Absolutely no chance of a trip hazard.Originally Posted by recaptured

I assume you need to run these every day as clippings are left on the lawn?
Ideally, yes... Altgough I move mine between front and rear lawns and so there's a few days that each isn't being cut. It manages no problem.
It's more a case of judging how long it takes for your mower to cover the lawn. If, for example, it takes 8hrs of mowing to cover your whole lawn then 8hrs a day every other day would be absolutely fine. There is an element of guesswork in determining this. One area of my lawn can be covered in around 10 hrs of mowing with the Husqvarna 430X so during the growing season it's set to mow every other day for 10hrs. Another area of lawn takes the Husqvarna 315X around 15hrs to cover the whole lawn so I have it run every day bar two for 13hrs a day. You'll know you've got it about right when you don't see any areas that haven't been cut for 3 or 4 days - they'll stand out........or up!
Do you all have little garages/shelters for your robotic friend?
Why are they so expensive?
I've just ordered one on the Amazon Prime deal. Genuinely excited!
It's not the pushing the lawnmover that pisses me off, it's the carting the grass off down the tip.
Why not compost it or don't bother collecting it (a robot mower doesn't)?
Quick questions for owners. What do you do in winter and autumn with regards to leaves? Do you still keep a mower for collecting them or do you just let the robot mulch away?
I have quick a big garden, circa 2 acres, with plenty of trees - lovely in spring/summer but a curse in autumn/winter.
I currently have a Countax K1850 with PGC but it's getting a bit temperamental now and was thinking of changing. I have 2 decks for it - a mulching one, used in the summer, and a normal cutter. This thread has me thinking :)

The Mrs doesn’t want a compost keep and moans like **** about grass cuttings in the house.
Am hoping this thing clips very fine once into its stride so the latter won’t be an issue.
The pre built garages are stupidly expensive. There's no reason why.
Search 'automower garage' on YouTube for some eye popping DIY jobs!
