Heavens, McClatchy Newspapers A lot of people already have taken their lawn mowers out of storage and given them a couple of workouts. How did the mower perform? Is it time to buy another? If it is a gas-powered mower, are you thinking about switching to electric, or to battery power, or an old-fashioned push mower? If it's time to buy a new lawn mower, here are some things to consider, no matter which side of the push/electric/gasoline debate you're on.
