Introduction to Battery Mulching Mowers

A Battery mulching mower will help you to maintain your lawn in a simple, convenient and environmentally-friendly way. Rather than collecting the grass clippings, battery mulching mowers shred them into a fine mulch which is deposited onto the lawn, returning nutrients to the soil and retaining water for a healthier, greener, less labour intensive, more environmentally sustainable lawn. Because they are battery powered, they also produce no carbon emissions at point of use, for cleaner air and a lower carbon footprint.

A battery-powered cordless mulching mower delivers a number of benefits. Because it is not tethered to a power supply by a cord, a battery powered mower gives you freedom of movement, but because it is electrically powered, it needs no petrol and so produces no carbon emissions as you use it, helping to minimise your carbon footprint. The mulch that they produce helps return nitrogen and other nutrients to the soil for a healthier lawn and by eliminating the need to dispose of the grass cuttings mulching lawn mowers both reduce your waste and save you the job of disposing of them.
