riding lawn mowers

[leilanidude]

Uh... we have planted our acre with dozens of fruit trees, ornamentals, native plants and perennial vegetables.  It is most definitely used for "actual ag use".  Weʻd rather spend our time weeding, pruning and planting than maneuvering a lawn mower through all of this.  Your suggestion for "a veggie plot" is condescending and not at all helpful.

A zero turn mower is very easy and quick to maneuver around trees and with the deck up front can get really close up to things. While my lot in Leilani is technically an acre, after subtracting out house, driveway, flower garden areas, etc. I probably only mow just over 1/2 acre. It takes me less than 20 minutes. When I had a John Deere garden tractor with 43" deck, it took 40 minutes and didn't get near as well around/close to trees.
