Electric Tools for Your Organic Garden
What kind of tools do you use in your organic garden? Of course, I think hand tools are the best type of tool to use, but who wants to cut a hedge that is 6′ tall and 40′ long with a pair of hand clippers? I know I wouldn’t want to. So, when I do use a motorized tool, I try to make sure its electric. Electric tools are quieter and produce no emissions.
Electric tools that require an electric cord are lighter and are easier to carry. There only drawback is that the cord can be a nuisance and if you have a large organic garden, you will need a lot of cord.
Cordless electric tools have a battery attached to them This makes them heavier and they often have to be recharged. I always try to buy an extra battery. These batteries have potentially harmful heavy metals in them such as cadmium, silver, mercury, and lithium. Be careful when disposing of these batteries and check with local authorities on the proper disposal technique in your area.
Electric tillers, pruners, trimmers, diggers, chainsaws, lawn mowers and a host of other equipment is avilable for your organic garden in todays market. The Neuton Electric Lawn Mower is a good example. It has almost a cult following. It is extremely light and easy to use. You can cut grass for almost one hour before having to recharge it. The Neutron was one of the first electric lawn mowers and has been around for a decade.
Robotic lawn mowers are the up and coming tool. While they have been around for almost 10 years, they have pretty much been a novelty item because of the problems with battery life. But, technology is changing, and improvements have been made to extend battery life. Who knows, before long you may have a robotic lawn mower mowing the grass around your organic garden.
