ST NEOTS, England, March 31, 2010 - Finally, spring has officially sprung! And, better still, experts are
predicting this could be by far the most spectacular on record as plants and
flowers burst into bloom all at once after laying dormant during the
prolonged cold snap.

Doubtless, your lawn will also need some tlc after the long winter and as
the grass-growing season kicks in. To get yours looking as attractive,
healthy and luscious as the spring blooms surrounding it in your beds and
borders, why not invest in one of Toro's new Recycler mowers being launched
for 2010?

Featuring Toro's famed Recycler technology, these clever mowers chop
grass cuttings into tiny particles and then fire them back into the lawn
where they quickly decompose, giving a valuable nutrient and moisture boost
for a healthier sward. Perfect for getting your shabby lawn in great shape
for the season.

As well as dramatically reducing garden waste, time saved collecting and
disposing of cuttings also reduces mowing time by up to a third, while a
Recycle-On-Demand function allows users to switch instantly between Recycler
and conventional mowing should you wish to bag or collect cuttings, or the
grass is too long for recycling.

The renowned mower manufacturer's new models for 2010 are:

- The Toro 48cm Super Recycler lawnmower has a sturdy aluminium deck that
promises a much cleaner and quieter performance than its predecessors, thanks
to its 159cc OHV Toro engine. This, together with the mower's AutoMatic Drive
propulsion system, ensures the 48cm Super Recycler cuts grass with all the
power, performance and precision you'd expect from a Toro mower.

With its 48cm/19in cutting width and single-point height-of-cut
adjustment from 2.5 to 10.3cms, the Super Recycler is ideal for medium-sized
lawns. Other innovative features include long-life ball-bearing wheels,
simple fold-down handles for compact and convenient storage, and a handy
washer port that makes cleaning the mower deck even easier.

The Toro Super Recycler lawnmower costs GBP599 including VAT.

- A cracking new ride-on lawn tractor also joins the line-up. Boasting a
92cm/36in cutting width and powerful 13.5hp Briggs & Stratton OHV four-stroke
engine, the Toro DH 140 lawn tractor makes light work of medium to large
sized lawns up to 3,000sq m.

In fact, thanks to its combination of manoeuvrability and compact overall
width, together with its high-productivity and competitive price-tag, Toro
reckons it's the ideal choice for first-time ride-on mower buyers.

Yes, this entry-level lawn tractor's perfectly proportioned to fit
through your average garden gates and obstacles, yet still has the power to
mow your lawn under tough conditions such as long or wet grass.

Those new to ride-on lawn tractors will find the DH 140 simple to master
and a pleasure to operate. Controls and levers are self-explanatory and
within easy reach, plus the foot pedals and steering wheel carefully
positioned for optimum user comfort.

The Toro DH 140 lawn tractor costs GBP2,499 including VAT.

Slightly off the subject perhaps, and we all understand that keen gardeners are lectured by lots of people to become more environmentally friendly. However it’s equally as crucial that you think about people cost. E.G., a few makes of rotovators may be made with child labor in the Far East. So PLEASE think about where new rotovator is sourced if you buy. A cultivator manufactured in Europe may not be cheap, but it’s a very fundamental decision.
