re: How often do you mow your lawn a year?

i have no freaking idea

usually when the wife fusses at me or the grass trips me when trying to walk to the mailbox.

My lawn would look like shite if I only mowed every other week. Call me crazy but I like my home and property to look nice.

Don't usually start until May, done by October. Didn't mow last June, it didn't rain. So, 20 I guess. Bermuda-ish, mid TN.

I do a lazy form of composting in that I save up my produce scraps (non-citrus), egg shells, used tea leaves and coffee grounds and just spread it over the lawn every few days and mow it over.

Second, it's something I enjoy doing. Pop the earbuds in and make my lawn and garden pop. I take pride in my ability to landscape and maintain my outdoor spaces. I want my lawn to have crisp edges, no weeds, even green across the board front and back. If it's a special occasion I'll even mow out a pattern. When I pull in after a day's work, I want to tell myself "Damn, my house looks good."

Plus, during those spring and summer months, a quick rain here and there can delay a mowing schedule significantly.

Used to be in the mid 30s when I had a grass lawn. Now that we've moved to a fully wooded lot with no grass, I pick up limbs and power blow about that many times a year.

Never. That's what my lawn man is for. I don't even own a lawnmower anymore.
