You can use electric mowers. They solve the belching fumes problem and nothing else.
They're often pretty quiet too.
Get an automatic/self-driving one, and you can just watch your vegetation be mutilated instead of doing it yourself.
Yep, electric "Roomba" style lawnmowers exist.
Lol that sounds like a device that would mutilate the plants growing beside the grass too… like my precious strawberries
I'm pretty sure you need to set up an electric grid on the property for it to follow.
Like the pet "invisible fence".
That, or GPS, but they're more expensive
