Our garden is mostly lawn, but eight years ago it was just mud and stones as we moved into a new build!  Looking after the garden is down to MadDad and the boys.  We grow vegetables in raised beds and pots and I grow flowers in containers.

Now the boys are getting older they have started to help out with the mowing and strimming and we were sent a Flymo Contour Cordless XT grass trimmer to review and it has been great for them to learn how to trim the edges of the lawn under supervision.

I am going to admit, I hate mowing and cutting the lawn ever since I mowed through the cord on the mower!  We have special sockets fitted and nothing happened to me, but I still do not like doing it and have always put off letting the boys do it due to cords, well now I have no excuse!

MadDad loves the Flymo cordless trimmer.  It is easy to use, lightweight (2.4kg) and we have only had to charge it once over the summer and he has used it for both the front and back lawn each week.  He certainly finds it faster as he doesn’t have to worry about getting the cord in the way or wrapped around anything.

The boys are happy as they have both been allowed to have a go at it (under strict supervision) and are looking forward to being able to take over garden maintenance duties exchange for some additional pocket money)!
