Wife bought me a Husqvarna 115H for my birthday. I think I've figured out how the boundary wire should be laid out, but I'm not sure about the guide wire. Looking for guidance for both though, in case my assumed boundary is not good. The thing I'm not sure about is if you can locate the base station outside the lawn or if it has to be within the lawn (my presumed location is on a patio behind the house). Do the boundary wires need to go left and right from the base station, or can they go straight out from the base?

I bought a Kress Mission Nano KR101E, but I’m not sure whether I should lay the cable on the grass (and let the grass grow over it in about 3 - 4 weeks) or of I should put the cable in the ground?

In the manual it states that the cable has to go in the ground, but I’ve read a few people say that putting the cable in the grass is way easier and barely visible after a few weeks.

Any tips and/or advice are/is welcome!
