We have been MORE than happy with our decision (recommended by a hardware store employee) to use the $12-$17 bottles of lawn weed killer, fertilizer, or weed and feed, that you attach to a hose, no mixing, clean, and take about 5-8 minutes to walk around most average lots. HOWEVER, while that saves a LOT of $$$ and does a much more effective job (because you can vary the BRAND you use from year to year so there is not loss of effectiveness on one formula, you would still be faced with the 10-15 "mow, blow, and go go go" as you put it. Maybe get a self propelled if you have a "reasonable" size lot ? No effort, and hey, keep the arthritis, diabetes, high blood pressure, etc. etc. at bay with the exercise IF that is possible for your situation ?
