I've got the solution for you - one favoured by post-war Italian immigrants to Australia, pull up the grass, cement the whole thing, and paint it bright green.
Nah, I'll just continue to let everything run rampant except for a few paths. Between my unruly yard and my empty driveway (I have no car), people are always assuming my house is uninhabited.

    I'm using a '78 lawn boy push mower, they don't make 'em like that anymore:)

    I’m using a toro mower from 99. It runs better than my neighbors new mower and always starts first pull.

    I'll send you over my favourite type of lawn mower:

    If I could afford to, I would! I have about 1/3 acre. I’d get roller skates!

    I've got an old 4 stroke Briggs and Stratton push mower. These days most locals here are buying electric mowers.


    My push mower is battery operated because I can’t pull start to save my soul. Kobalt. It really works great. I did the front yard with it today.

    I now have a new appreciation for atty deck screws. I disassembled my tablet this morning, as its power button was no longer working.

    8 flea-sized screws and 16 ant-sized screws later, I got to the circuit board. Thankfully the power button circuit contacts was grotty, and just needed cleaning.

    I reassembled it all and snapped it back together. Tested it, and it powered on :thumbs:

    As I was cleaning up, I saw one flea-sized screw still on my mat. I thought :censored: it, and binned it.
