Health Benefits from Lawn Mowing...and cut grass smell

[Mt_Rider]

This is an interesting take on a chore some of us still might be doing.  In our CO high country, no grass lawns to mow.  Well, some folks import the standard green lawn concept but most of us are content to do things Wild West style.

In another month, we'll be mowing our grass.      I leave the dandelions for the honeybees, but everything else goes into the three baskets on the back of the tractor. Since I mow about 2-8 acres at different times during the Summer, a push mower might be a bit too much.

Homesteader, I think you can count energy + range of motion while driving tractor mower!  Plus any ON and OFF exertion!

Homesteader, I was thinking she must surly live in an apartment or a condo. Wait until she has more than a strip or two of grass to cut and hits my age in the summer with all of that heat and humidity. Bet she will have her fat a$$ perched on a riding mower faster than she can say John Deere.

We mow 5-6 acres at least once a week.  Depending on the rain sometimes it's twice a week.  I usually do the mowing BUT I can guarantee you I use a rider, not a push mower.

I think I am past your age, and yes ... the hotter the summer ... the better.
