Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
Hi Dan - the blocks are roughly 6” tall so I stacked two together and got 3 2x12x10’s with one cut in half for the shorter sides…you can use 2x6’s which makes for a more attractive look if you like and stack the two boards on top of one another…the cool thing about using the block is you can add on easily with as many sections as you want and make your raised garden square or rectangular…it’s literally plug-n-play

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
CEO pointed out branch’s that needed to be pruned . So tackled the job and got cute and took a picture of my Stretch XL frn . She called out to me just as I took picture and went to help . Got back to Polaris and took off to back of yard . When I almost finished unloading there was my knife still open wedged between two limbs . Pretty embarrassing confession. Dan

Re: Yard Work - Nice Day
My Honda of many years died this weekend. I have been eyeing these electric lawnmowers for a few years. They keep getting better and better. I got the top end Ryobi. I have a relatively small yard. Whisper quiet which is awesome. Seems to cut just as well. All wheel drive. The only difference I see from my Honda is it doesn't seem to suck up as much clippings. Which is relative because I feel like the Hondas are vacuums. More seems to escape the crevices. Otherwise I'm very pleased. Easily collapses into vertical storage and does not take up much space. If you have a larger yard, you can always buy more batteries. My 1/2 acre + used up about a half of 1 battery for reference. Has 2 on board batteries and has an advertised runtime of 70 minutes.
