    You joke, but if you ever talked to a homeowner about their lawn and heard them complain about their neighbor’s lawn…

      Mowing the lawn is the only hour of uninterrupted creativity I get in the week. Also my neighbour’s lawn is 50% dandelions.

        Your lawn is green concrete; a lifeless painting with nothing for pollinators.

        Your neighbor’s lawn has wildlife in the deadlands of the suburbs.

            A tiny little strip of life, carefully manicured to minimize nature as much as possible.

            Might as well pave over the rest of it and just have potted plants for all the good that does.

        While I disagree with your take that dandelions are bad, that’s a great mow job! How do you get stripes that pronounced?

          I put the wheels on one side a notch lower than the other and alternate directions when you mow.
