Mtn-Biking Man has been picking up lessons learned from others on how to gracefully gain more time for riding and spend far less – yes, much, much less time mowing and picking weeds. Here are tips worth considering:> Shrink grass as much as possible!
> Surround grass with bark or rock (see great picture)!
> Pour a “Sport Court.” Don’t have room for a full size? No issue, just cement it and call it a “half court” or better yet . . . call it a large / extended “socializing patio” [wife bound to like this, especially with a couple of chairs and potted flowers added]!!
> Rock your front yard! (see other great picture)!
> Throw a fountain, a bench and some stepping stones out instead of grass!
> Get a dog -- “sorry can’t mow today – too much *!#&$ in the grass and the boy has yet to ‘pick-up-the-poop’ (PUTS).”
> Ask your neighbor if you can borrow his goats. Goats eat grass (and everything else). No goat? No problem! Ask neighbor is they’ll let their kids play on your lawn. They’re sure to trample the grass, weeds, and flowers down (after all they’re kids, the next best thing to goats). Viola! Grass trampled down and nothing to mow! Poop has mysteriously disappeared too (or got mushed in, who cares)! No flowers! No weeds! No poop!
You’ve worked hard orchestrating all of this, so go take a well-deserved bike ride!
We’re all pulling for ya!
