unfortunately:
i don't mow here BO, because it's owned by the neighbor
who's family manages the golf course
so consequently........... it's kept real short....like@ the G.C.

shorter than i want it....plus i get no clippings to use as mulch

i just found that walking in a straight line made me feel like a cyborg and lacked creativity.

You don't own it but they let you farm and cultivate, but not mow? Doesn't make sense. I thought I read something you posted about ride on lawnmowers and saw a pic.

I have also heard you shouldn't remove more than a 1/3 of the height each time you mow.

I love my thick lawn.. it never needs mowing....PINE NEEDLES... i gave up on trying to grow grass there... along the street I never water or fertilize.. my crab grass stays green until the first frost... needs damn little mowing to... all and all it leaves me more time for fishing..now if I can only convince my wife to get rid of the flowers.... all kidding aside, I cut on the second highest setting ( back yard, no trees) .. bag every other mowing.. save the clippings in the compost pile ... turn it into the garden each fall..

A good run is better than a bad stand!

mice in mower cure

When storing power equipment,cover air cleaner,engine and nooks and crannies with bounce dryer sheets.It repells mice.
