Reject modernity. Return to scythe.
look at mr. fancy pants here, thinks they’re too good for a regular old sickle huh?
Those are two entirely different tools with entirely different purposes. Sickles are good for harvesting small parts of plants, not mowing large swathes.
yes it’s almost like that’s the joke!
Look at Mr rich pants here, needing a ride on petrol mower. Most people round my way have small push along electric mowers.
Petrol lawnmowers come in push along models too. Before they had electric, that was the only type. It’s not fancy.
Get a push mower. It’s insane how much better it is in every single way. There’s no reason at all to push a 2 stroke across your lawn after paying for gas and getting it to star. You just quietly glide over that grass quiet. And some have a bag too.
Nah, get an electric mower, best of both worlds. Quiet-ish and still faster than an old push mower. No gas or mixing or worrying about it starting every season, just like the push mower except as labor saving as a gas
Nah, throw your mower in the bin and let your yard return to nature.
I’m not against this.
I used to think lawns were dumb but then I moved to a place where if you don’t take care of your yard, it’s just overrun with bugs and weeds. Planting too many trees makes things damp and miserable, open areas are key, but that’s where stuff grows. Most plants can’t survive being mowed, but grass loves it, and the birds can pick out insects when it’s low. So now I like lawns, it’s the human version of a meadow. And I don’t see an alternative, other than growing an extra long beard, converting myself in mud, and becoming a druid

I don’t understand. Are you implying that’s not the obvious solution here?
