No one but me is mowing my yard

I mow when the fishing sucks

If I followed this paradigm I would mow mine all the time.

You must not fish your yard is too perfect

I and 2 others rotate on mowing our church property. I'd guess about 5-6 acres. Takes about 5 hours to mow and weed-eat.

Mow my own. 1.1 acres. I just get on the rider and do it. I was the oldest out of 6 and had mowing duties at parents houses. Also mowed one across the street.

There are 2 things I give a wide berth to on the highway. White vans and trucks towing a trailer with lawn equipment. Headed to the deer lease once I was behind a trailer with lawn equipment. Went around him and saw the sign on the side. It said Andy's Lawn Care. I thought OK never heard of a Mexican named Andy.

I pay to get it done... I'm retired and fish too much to have to bother with the lawn... Dan

Did mine this morning. I take pride in my yard so love maintaining it. My son and I had three yards once but that came to an end when he went to college.

I may do it again when I retire but not with a walk behind.

There isn't much I hate more than yardwork.

I mow mine as well. I also clear under the trees with a brush cutting head on my line trimmer, then trim the grass areas. Pick up limbs and branches every wind storm, drag em to the burn pile, etc. I did not take into account that I would be a ranch hand when buying a place in the country. There is always, something to be done outside. Like someone else said, I'll do it til I can't.

Growing up in the county. A nature yard is beautiful. Wild flowers, grasshoppers, bees.


But in town, it has to be cut. Not because of anything else but mice and bug control. Fire prevention when it goes dormant, turning brown.


In the country, we had field mice. Tiny little mice. In town, those basturds are twice the size and take nest in the attic.


You can't leave the grass long.

I wish I had time to fish. Now that kids sports have slowed some, I may get back out on the water more.

I pay to have my yard mowed, my guy is still only charging me $25 per week during mowing season, been using him for about 7 years now.

I also pay a service to fertilize my yard 8 times a year.

I gave away my mower, weed eater and edger, I kept my blower.

I've been floating along the native grass. Which really only grows outside the middle of the summer. When it's the hottest. Then it'll spring back to life at the slightest of rain.


I've also been babying a Mustang grape vine. It's a monster. The birds usually eat the grapes before they plumb up, deep purple. They'll strip the vine. Which is fine. It's only reason to be in the yard. Is making wine. But I already told you about the birds.


There's also a big honeysuckle blob. Out front. The paper wasp love it. So with those guys around. No web worms. That's a meal for them.




I enjoy my yard too. I have sculptures I've welded together throughout. Tasteful.

I can still mow and weed eat my 1.5 acres around the house
