I HATE mowing the grass..

Anything goes - within reason.

I HATE mowing the grass..

Indeed I do. I can't think of a more onerous task. And although it's done now I know it will need doing again in four days.. then another four days.. and another four days. :worried: :cry: :kill: :barf: :cry: :worried: :kill: :barf: The 'lawn' is roughly 10m x 4m and personally I'd like a pond 9m x3.5m :grin: :thup: :thup: :thup: :grin:

Now I want a shower and a steaming hot mug of tea... :thup: :thup:

I used to enjoy cutting my grass and liked the smell too :thup: but it was all replaced with a drive :(

I also enjoy mowing the lawn, also got a old style (new) AlKo push mower, piss easy and mulches the cuttings, don't use powered mowers anymore although the garden is fairly small - good exercise too!
