There’s the small issue of flammability, and the inconvenience of taking a can down to the local petrol station to fill it up with five litres of fuel at a time. Then there’s storage – you can’t keep your petrol over winter and expect it to start in the spring with the same gusto as it did the summer before, so you’ll need to drain out your equipment and fill it with fresh fuel if it won’t start. All sorts of things can befall petrol-powered garden tools, from rodents eating through your priming bulbs to light-fingered allotment thieves.

If your petrol grass trimmer has a two-stroke engine, you will need to mix the unleaded petrol and oil together before putting it into the fuel tank. With a four-stroke engine the oil and petrol are not mixed and go into separate tanks. The manufacturer’s instructions will show what type of oil should be used, and what ratio it should be mixed at.

Heavier machines are easier to control if they have a shoulder strap – I thoroughly recommend using one to get the most out of your strimmer.
