"Once or twice a year on wild flowers is more of a ride on mower job. I just use my iseki for this on top height then drop it down for a 2nd run over.

Hi Anthony

Thanks for this. I am still trying to figure out how this all works. I see already that you are planning to emigrate to the UK? Can this be true, or are you just fishing? I am interested to sommunicate with the other pool builders, and will see if there is common ground.

Ta again
