Using robotic lawnmowers in a way that protects hedgehogs and butterflies
Udviklingen og lanceringen af robotplæneklipperen har været afgørende inden for plænepleje. Det har aldrig været nemmere at holde sin græsplæne og sikre en sund, grøn plæne uden at skulle løfte en finger. Samtidig er det vigtigt for os hos GARDENA at sikre, at robotplæneklipperen ikke ødelægger det naturlige dyreliv i haven. Sikkerheden for pindsvin og andre små dyr, der færdes i og mellem haver, er særlig vigtig for os. Derfor har vi samlet nogle gode råd om, hvordan man beskytter pindsvin mod robotplæneklippere.
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.
