I’m sorry – I’ve just moved on

I think I have most of the mowing issues resolved and this will likely be my last post on mowing my lawn.

I still really enjoy cutting the grass and there hasn't been a need recently since the weather is so hot and dry that the grass has gone dormant.

There are a couple of lessons that Ive learned about mowing a large yard.

1. Rectangles are good, triangles are bad
2. Cutting a circle around a large tree is easy, around a small tree requires a triangle (which in this case is a good thing in direct contradiction of Rule 1)
3. There are parts of my lawn that do WAY better than other parts (I guess I should figure out where the septic tank is – that may have something to do with it)
4. The amount of grass that needs to be cut is inversely proportional to how much time you have available

I got a question for you: If you were a brand new riding lawnmower owner – would you go to YouTube to try and find techniques that have been proven to work (or am I the only one who's ever searched YouTube for instructional videos on mowing?)

If you would, should I spend an afternoon and put together two or three videos on how to mow around the awkward bits – I am a bit of an expert now.

And you know that from now on my lawn is Bound To Please.
