Take advantage of the Summer sun (you know it’s going to start raining soon) to get out in your garden and tame your borders and trim the verdant pastures of your lawn. We’ve got the best kit for keeping your garden trim, from robot lawnmowers to pocket chainsaws…
Black & Decker CCS818 18V Pocket Chainsaw
Want to proclaim your manliness to the world at deafening volumes? Well, the Black & Decker CCS818 18V Pocket Chainsaw probably isn’t the saw for you. It does, however, make short work of unwanted posts, branches and neighbours, with its eight-inch cutting bar and chain, before folding up into a tin. Impressive.
Husqvarna Automower 260ACX
If you haven’t got a servant to mow your lawn, the Husqvarna Automower 260ACX is the next best thing. The Husqvarna Automower 260ACX is a robot mower that’ll do about an hour’s worth of trimming from a single charge, which should be more than enough for your acre and a half of grass. And if that’s not clever enough for you, it’ll even send you a text when it’s done mowing. Not bad if you have a spare £3,500.
Once your garden’s in check,have a BBQ on one of these posh barbies…
Pure Evoke Flow
Whether you fancy Radio 4’s Gardener’s Question Time or the hardcore sounds of Bloodclaat Gangsta Youth as you wrestle with your herbaceous borders, the Pure Evoke Flow will meet your needs. The Flow brings you the Holy Trinity of radio: DAB, FM and internet. Hook it up to your Wi-Fi network and you can listen to Radio Uno Italia while you weed. You can even use the EVOKE Flow to browse and play music stored on a Wi-Fi-enabled PC.
Black & Decker GK1000 Alligator
It doesn’t get much more manly than a power tool shaped like an alligator. The Black & Decker GK1000 Alligator works just like a manual lopper but with the power of a chainsaw. With a 550W motor providing the power and a 100mm cutting diameter, unruly branches are made short work of.
Aerogarden
No garden? The Aerogarden is a soil-free gardening system that uses micro-processors to adjust levels of nutrients, water and light so herbs in the pre-seeded pods grow three times faster than normal. Sounds clever? It should do, it was developed by NASA to nourish astronauts in space.
