Hey INW,

With rising fuel costs and the apparent likelihood that we've already reached a peak oil state, I'm looking at ways I can cut back on my use of combustion engines. I've already started telecommuting a couple of days a week for the last few months. Now I'm looking at my lawn mower.

Anyone have experience with something like this?

I have about 0.66 acres but with all the big oaks the amount of lawn I need to mow is quite a bit less than that. I'm probably going to pull the trigger and buy that mower next paycheck.

I also find myself in need of a weed whacker. Short of breaking my back pulling weeds by hand, or spraying a bunch of pesticides that are just going to wash into the Neuse and make a bad situation worse, I'm wondering if others are effectively handling lawn care without the use of gas engines and chemicals.
