Mow
a better lawn, the easy way.
I was schooled, as
many of you were, about mowing lawns, that each time you mow the
lawn the next time you rotate 90 degrees. If you are extra anal
you go for the 45 degrees. I was never that anal so I just cut
on the 90 andthings went well. The people that "schooled
me" said that it would make groves in my yard where I ran
the mover. And, I believed it. Until I moved into my new house,
and I followed suit and started my 90 degree rotation. Well we
live on a slope becase of 1. the view and 2. the water drainage
problem we had in out previous home. That is another story.
I mowed the lawn three
times. Twice up and down and once side to side. It was amazing
how much easier going across the slope, than going up and down.
I spent the rest of the summer going across the slope. Along with
the proper fertilization and watering. What a beautiful lawn.
The kids had a ball barefoot and happy.
I am a proponent of
push mowers. I think that they mow a better lawn and provide and
provide a chance to get the blood flowing in between exercises.
Working behind a computer as much as I do, that is much needed.
I also feel that they give you more control of the mower than
a riding mowers. It also really hacks me off to see some one terribly
over weight mowing a 1/4 acre lot with a riding mower. That is
ridiculous! Anyway off my soap box.
After I am done, if
there is any "clumps" I take the leaf blower and disapate
them into the grass.
All and all a beautiful
lawn is not that difficult. Just some ideas to help you save some
energy for other projects. Just thinking of you.
Just a few
options.

It's
all about the work bench.
If your work bench is not what you need, you will get nothing
done.
A
productive garage, is not a messy one.
There is nothing slowing progress down like a mess, or excessive
storage
Cars
and Tools can coexist
I have so many tools to keep my car in the garage. I have one
word. ORGANIZE!
