What's this?

I do the minimum of trimming every time and never blow


If there is that much trimmings that need blowing, I have to bag it instead and dump in the woods in my back yard. Does take a little longer that way, sure.

I do a larger trimming around the edges maybe once a year (the minimum I do every time is around the mailbox post, the corner street sign and a few other spots the mower can't reach)....I still have one of the best lawns in my hood, so I don't need to be anal about it, luckily.
