6.15.2008 at 01:14am - Comment by bodieI dont have a problem with the green trend, but i do think people are being misguided by it. Why would you build a electric mower for 1500? Have the writers never been in a Home Depot, if they had they would realise they do sell electric mowers and even the old push mower like the one pictured. All for alot less. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Navigation?Ntk=AllProps&N=10000003+90401+528365&storeId=10051&catalogId=10053&langId=-1 Why not write a article on the Scotts company and there reason on still selling them. Why its it that popsci then to think that money will fix everything?
