the zen of mowing your lawn

[Rick-o]

This is what I do at the house. I'm at the end of a dead end road with wilderness on three sides and a creek running through the back yard. The prior owners kept the yard "rustic" and only did the front yard strip. I've continued that tradition.

Now my small biz at the edge of town is a different matter. I like to keep the 3+ acres I mow nice and tight with no weeds or anything popping up. It's a small town with a lot of people passing by. I want to leave a good impression with all the downstaters who drive by.

If I owned a lawn I'd likely be the obnoxious neighbor that let's it grow wild - which is not to say that it would be uncared for, just that I wouldn't invest time and resources in a vast green expanse that was only visited by lawn care equipment.
