Anyone else enjoy doing yard work?

Nope......current house yard is about 5 acres. Just something that need to be done. My old house where the yard was much smaller, I use to cut diamonds and other patterns in my yard.

Anyone know anything about fixing electric lawnmowers? Power cord seems like it's not working most times. I could shake it a bunch and suddenly it has power.

I wanna get to the root of the mower but the part where it all connects requires screwdriver to open up the compartment cover containing the engine and base of the cord , but the head of the screws seems like nothing I've seen before. Can't even get pictures because it's hard to see. Any other suggestions that could help fix it?

I don't have a yard since I live in an apartment, but I love taking care of the field that my baseball team plays on. I don't mow it, but edging the infield/outfield cuts, fixing the mound/batter's boxes, watering, etc. is bliss.

My favorite is getting a field ready for a game. I take a ton of pride in making it look as nice as possible. I know as a player, it was such a big deal playing on a well-groomed field, so I try to give my players that feeling as much as possible.

My first thought was Torx, is it that? You can pick them up at Home Depot or Lowes

Maybe hexagon because the square head screwdriver I used seemed to be only one that ever felt like it had a chance of fitting

Don't know a better thread to ask, so I'll ask here.

What's the best plant to get to kill or get rid of nearby bugs? Venus fly trap is most well known, but it stays closed forever after 1 time.

What kind of bugs?
