Mowing Grass

Walk behind Troy-Built with rear wheel drive. Front and back yards are rectangular so I mow counterclockwise, outward in. No time for fancy diaganals or loopty loops.

One of those manual bladed rollers, supplemented in the corners with a Toro cordless edger. Our lot is only around 12 X 50. I tend to go counterclockwise but don't always.

used to do the spiral-in on my mom's lawn when i was a kid. on my own lawn, i now do about three laps of the yard inside & out, then alternate rows one week, columns the next, as i read that its best to cut in alternating directions so as not to pattern the grass' growth.

You know if you lot were real die hards you'd mow the NY Skyline into your lawn just like they used to do at Shea.....no grass in our back yard.

Our (shared) lawn isn't our maintenance jurisdiction, but it's done by a lazy

Guy who lives next door. $30 every ten days or so; saves me an enormous amount of hassle.

You pay someone $90 a month to mow your lawn? Geez, I wish I was rich like you.

10 HP Snapper Rear engine riding mower. I like this rider because instead of being a huge tractor style mower, it is a small rider that's more the size of a go-kart. I do the trim work with a 22" Murray rotary mower.

he's paying the kid next door, $90 doesn't just buy him a lawn-mow, it keeps his newspaper from disappearing, keeps cherry bombs from showing up in his mail box, and flaming bags of dog poop off of his stoop.

White Outdoors riding lawntractor....I mow a different pattern just about every time that I mow...it never stops raining for a long period of time or gets that hot (muggy, just not hot), so the grass is always in a state of being mowable...probably mow the lawn about 5 times per month in July/August and closer to 8 times per month in April/May/June...I kind of use the mowing time to get away from the real world and just veg out...kinda sucked this past month because I had broken ribs, so I didn't use the ride-on mower for a month...mowing an acre of grass with an old push mower was a lot more work but didn't hurt the ribs from the bouncing....

Push kind. Because of the shape of the yard, have to do it in rows. mrs. sharpie wants to kill off all of the grass and plant clover. We've killed the grass but have yet to embark on part two which, I think, is supposed to be a fall project.
