Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I cut the lawn high all the time. Less weeds and moss grow so you get more actual grass. It can be a problem when it gets extra long so I typically use the second highest setting for normal use and save the highest for the extra long times.
It cuts pretty easy so long grass isn’t too big of a deal, though I should probably cut more often than I do.
I used to keep it long too, however I’m kinda sick of keeping a lawn. Now it’s only purpose is providing composting material. I’m hoping one day to have it all gone in the backyard. I still have to mow the berm though unfortunately.
We have kids and a dog that make use of our lawn, so it seems worthwhile to keep.
I’ve heard of people planting the berm with non-grass ground cover, which wouldn’t need mowing. It’s something to consider.
Our kids don’t seem to care much. I kind of want a mini forest in the backyard instead.
Our berm is joined with a long section of the neighbours and also has a bus stop pole on it, so people end up standing/sitting on it. Our section of it isn’t too big so I don’t mind, I can’t really be bothered doing extra work for the council’s property😁
Having a small berm will get annoying when the rest of the lawn is gone and you have to mow a tiny patch that takes longer to get the mower out than to mow it 🙂
ok it’s not THAT small, but I don’t mind I think. And having some extra grass for the compost when I’m low on materials is handy.
