I finally bought mine - I had some health issues and had to make the leap. I've had mine now for 6 weeks - couldn't be happier. I use the clippings to mulch the flower beds and vegetable garden around the place - go dump a couple of loads of clippings by the bed without getting off the mower, then when I'm finished mowing the yard I'll go spread the stuff around. Thats also a well designed and engineered piece of equipment. I've clogged the discharge a few times, but once I figured out how to pull out the chute then reach in and clear stuff with my hand, its pretty easy to do, as well as the limits on what its going to cut.

When we lived in Benbrook, southwest of Ft. Worth, we were only 35 miles from Granbury, used to go down there fairly often, as it is an historical town. I feel so bad for the people there, this is a devastating event. As for us, we received much needed rain, two plus inches, and possibly more to come today. I understand next week, we could have severe weather in our area, but will wait to find out for sure, since we never know if we will get anything here or not. So far, the pattern has been bad weather to the south and east of us. Avedon

Do u know there is a link to the R&R on the main Exchange page? All you have to do is scroll down and there it is. The R&R is set-up for both seed and plant trades, it would make it confusing to have one on each thread. AGAIN just my OPINION! :) Fran

We just had a storm come through with small hail and it's showing we'll have rain for another two days. My back yard has become a swamp might find fish in it if it keeps this up. I don't want to complain cause we needed this rain very badly and we are blessed to have gotten so much. A lot of places still have water restriction in place not because of drought but because they can't keep up with the load of people living here. With more moving here and more housing going up. Our town is building enough homes to house 1500 more families. Don't you think it would be much wiser to plan ahead and make another lake to hold the water needed to supply water for more people before building more homes?
