Who mows your lawn?

I mow it. Dammit....... Push.....

Lawn service. I got 8 acres, half woods, half lawn with my house in the middle of the lawn. They get it all done in about an hour.

When I was a kid I was the one who used to ride the lawn mower. The novelty of that ride wore of pretty quickly.

I need to downsize. Maybe in a few years.

Stop watering, stop mowing. Dig down 6 to 8 inches, fill with decomposed granite, a couple of big boulders, a few drought resistant plants of your choice. Install a drip system with timer.

This is not as expensive as it might sound, especially if you hire some industrious college age kids. Feed them and give them beer ( Hold the beer till they are finished)

Mr Black and Mr Decker do most of my front with a little help from Tecumseh in the places they don't fit. The bits still left, go to the children of Messrs Black and Decker who beat them to death with plastic string. All this is under my supervision.

The larger back belongs entirely to the Senior B&D because, when we go riding out 3 or 4 times a year, they are so good at taking out saplings.

Portions of the yard need a visit from Mr Caterpillar but that has to wait for a drought because they are often under water.

No chance I'm downsizing. It's way too nice not seeing even the neighbor's houses let alone them.

I use an electric mower to cut my grass. Small yard, tricky to not run over the cord, but it works well.

Me, me and me. We are on a farm and their are three yards that have to be mowed as well as an occasional run through the barnyard where equipment is parked. One yard my son and his wife take care of, the other two I am responsible for. For the most part, I enjoy doing yard work. I hate being cooped up indoors and would rather be outside working in my yard than inside cleaning up after other people (or myself!) There is something about the look of a freshly manicured yard and neat, tidy flower beds that I love!

Then there is my vegetable garden.....but we'll save that for another post! Gardening season is fast approaching.

Mowing, yard care is one thing I enjoy. Love my lawn looking like a golf fairway.
