The summer and its rabid heat is here and i still have a lot of lawn that hasnt been replaced by gardens yet (work in progress) and grows super fast

Im trying to get better and decouple myself from cloud services, but my searches for what robotic lawn mowers are self hostable/dont require wan isnt giving me confidence

I might just deal with the heat and get a push mower and deal with it, but if anyone has experience with a good local-only robotic lawn mower, or which ones to avoid - id love to hear it

    Xeriscaping. Lawns started as a form of opulence and stature of the rich. It signaled wealth as they were rich enough to afford to have a lawn, pay for it’s grooming and labor, and not use it to grow food, along with paintings of oversized livestock. Let the chips mellow for a while before planting the garden as rotting vegetation puts out a crazy amount of heat and will scorch tender sprouts. If you’ve ever stuck your hands in a compost bin, it’s quite toasty.
