Oh, currently about two weeks worth. |

We recommended at least 15 metres for the man-portable backpack lawnmowers; and try to stay upwind as much as possible. |
|
| |
With vehicle-mounted lawnmowers, it's actually possible to get closer, because the armour provides protection from the heat, and modern armoured vehicles have closed-circuit air handling to protect against fumes and combustion products. But they're unsuitable for most gardens. |
|
| |
It's possible to deploy lawnmowing devices from aircraft, but again the targeting isn't that precise and can lead to a lot of collateral damage and adverse publicity. |

A gnatcatcher is a type of wren, i.e. a tiny bird, that dines on
gnats. Gnats fly in a holding pattern above the head of a
person outdoors before making suicide runs at the ears, nose
or eyes. Upon death, replacement gnats take their place. This
takes the joy out of mowing the lawn, a task that had little
joy to begin with. |

Bats [link] operate at night and frogs [link] must be kept wet. |
