Fan sprinklers water broad bands of grass and give vegetable gardens a good dousing. For spot sprays, watering cans wet the spot. Get two to balance the load and avoid back strain. Spray nozzles attach to the end of hoses for control of the flow and the occasional water fight with friends. Use hose reels to keep hoses from being chewed up by mowers or from hiding in the grass to trip the unwary.
Lawn mowers come in many styles and sizes.
Obviously, your mass of grass will affect your choice. A simple nonmotorized push type will do a fine job on a small yard. If your grass goes on for half an acre or more, you'll need a bigger, more powerful model. For many green miles, consider a riding mower or garden tractor. Ask our home and garden experts .
