About Lawnmowerfixed

Tractor hero

This site started in 2018 as a free resource for anyone who wanted to fix, tune up, or maintain their own lawn equipment. But like any good garden, it’s grown.

Lawnmowerfixed is still your go-to spot for straightforward, real-world repair advice on everything from walk-behind mowers to snowblowers. But it’s also now home to simple, time-saving tips for growing your own food—especially if you’re short on time, energy, or space.

I’m John Cunningham, a Red Seal Qualified Service Technician with over 25 years of hands-on experience fixing everything from engines to garden gear.

I live and work on 8 acres of land, where my workshop is based. Five years ago, I planted 6 of those acres in native woodland. The rest? That’s where I grow vegetables the easiest way I know how.

I’ve been growing my own veg for over 20 years—mainly in raised beds, because they’re easier to manage, easier on the body, and way more forgiving when life gets busy. I still plant directly in the ground too, but my philosophy is simple: less fuss, more food.

This site is about showing you how to get things done—whether it’s repairing a stubborn mower or growing carrots in containers—with straight-talking advice, step-by-step guides, and the odd shortcut or two.

Here’s to fixing what’s broken—and growing what feeds you.
