Also Milk from the Goats!And Goats are tasty. It's like raising little cows. But you have to feed cows. Cows cost money. Goats are probably practically free after you buy a couple and they start breeding?
LOL.....The guy favors Peyton Manning. He's using a grass scythe.I tried that once,, once,,
I'm just saying you could go with a natural landscape but if you want to fight so hard to continue doing something that isn't good for the planet and costs you a lot of money, don't say we didn't offer you any suggestions on how to keep more of your disposable income.
Inflation doesn't seem to be hurting you guys that bad. Some of you even bragged how you REFUSE to participate in No Mow May. Fine, then pay $5 a gallon.
United States uses more than 600 million gallons of gas to mow and trim lawns each year — about two gallons of gas for every man, woman and child, or five gallons per household. Mowers also consume engine oil in their crankcases, and two-stroke mowers consume oil in their fuel.
What is 600 million x $5?
Did you read what I said, or just know that I responded. Bottom line is, nobody is thrilled about higher gas prices at same or lower productions and lower exploration/drilling expense except big oil, who are making record profits. Oil stock prices are the highest they have been in over 3 years, so it is good for somebody, just not most of us.I did a search for the word GAS and plugged in your name. 16 pages of threads where you are talking about gas. You seem obsessed?
Actually, many are obsessed with the higher prices in fuel and alternatives are always welcome but even if fuel goes down or pay goes up the fact is our society should be more committed to a echo-friendly lifestyle and move further away from the way we live now.I did a search for the word GAS and plugged in your name. 16 pages of threads where you are talking about gas.

Sounds like you need to move some possums into your area. They are big tick eaters.I had my yard and field mowed, but left the areas she couldn't get with the riding mower for the pollinators. Then I walked through one edge to fill the bird feeder, and when I came in and changed my clothes, I had a tick on my leg. Fortunately, it hadn't attached. Tick bites are real bad news here. When my husband got one, he woke up shivering violently. He tested positive not only for Lyme disease but also for just about every other tick borne disease except Rocky Mountain spotted fever (I'm on the east coast). I'll dress just short of a hazmat suit and weed whack a few paths and let the 'grass' grow longer than usual, but won't endanger my health.
Neat idea, but two things:What is No Mow May? It encourages anyone with a yard to not mow their lawns throughout the month to protect pollinator habitats.
I sprayed my lawn last fall, so no flowers for the pollinators this May.What is No Mow May? It encourages anyone with a yard to not mow their lawns throughout the month to protect pollinator habitats.
Ever mow a lawn that hasn’t been mowed in a month?What is No Mow May? It encourages anyone with a yard to not mow their lawns throughout the month to protect pollinator habitats.
That's good for the ole vertebrae.
You are confused.Did you read what I said, or just know that I responded. Bottom line is, nobody is thrilled about higher gas prices at same or lower productions and lower exploration/drilling expense except big oil, who are making record profits.

Done got 'em.You can use electric mower, and weed eaters are battery operated, so soon we will have ( if not already ) electric mowers…
See, we are seeing massive progress in this field of engineering and science and with electric mowers it is stopping the usage of Oil, to a point…Done got 'em.

And two of the five are lead-acid batteries, so far less likely to catch fire.
I would love to have a yard like this that you don't have to cut the grass.

Yale University has estimated that the United States uses more than 600 million gallons of gas to mow and trim lawns each year
At $6 a gallon? Are you rich? Do the math. And if you can afford to waste money like that, don't complain about inflation.
Go with a natural lawn, save the planet, and some money. Or don't.
I've watched that video for ten minutes and the guy hasn't made any progress. Screw that.
When we retired and moved back to KY, we looked at a little 10-acre farm. The previous owners owned goats and made soap out of the milk.Also Milk from the Goats!
The Serbian woman once told me she didn’t eat Goat Cheese and neither did here Mexican Friend, and I asked her do you like Chevre and they both replied with yes and their mother’s were shocked and screamed you eat Goat Cheese you nimrods!!!
Ticks are bad news. Lone Star ticks are spreading meat allergies. My parents both got it about 25 years ago, and I have a coworker now with it.I had my yard and field mowed, but left the areas she couldn't get with the riding mower for the pollinators.

Possums are bros.Sounds like you need to move some possums into your area. They are big tick eaters.
I'm a believer in "take care of your possum and your possum will take care of you". I toss my resident possum scraps in the winter to keep it around....Nary a tick come this time of year either.
