Using robotic lawnmowers in a way that protects hedgehogs and butterflies
Utviklingen og lanseringen av robotgressklipperen var et vendepunkt i hagepleie. Aldri har det vært enklere å pleie gressplenen og sikre seg frisk, grønn plen – uten å løfte en finger. Samtidig er det viktig for oss i GARDENA å tilrettelegge for at robotklipperen ikke forstyrrer det naturlige dyrelivet. Det er særlig sikkerheten til pinnsvin og andre små dyr som ferdes i og mellom hager som er viktig for oss. Derfor har vi samlet noen gode råd for å beskytte pinnsvin mot robotklipperen.
Measure 1: Technical requirements of the SILENO robotic lawnmower
All robotic lawnmowers from GARDENA are equipped with pivoting blades and most have either skid plates and/or front wheel drive. These are features that decisively increase the safety of robotic mowers. In addition to the physical functions of the mowers, we also offer software solutions such as the animal protection function in the GARDENA smart App, which allows the mower to rest from dusk to dawn while hedgehogs are at their most active. In addition, the GARDENA cutting system does not start the blades in the charging station. The robotic lawnmower first moves away from this for a period of five seconds before it starts mowing, so that small animals that have sought shelter under the mower can run away.
