I pay a guy to mow mine. Have for about 10 years now.

Mowing every 6 days here it’s wet

Sunday was the second round of mulching the yard dandelions for me this year. They started early and looks like they are going to hang in there for awhile longer

I wish I had some sort of mini baling equipment I could use on the yard when the grass was tall enough.

Me too. Mine was so thick and wet that it was all my mower could handle. Then it leaves behind piles of messy chopped up stuff that turn all the grass under it yellow and brown But if you wait any longer it doesnt get any better. And its not even wet here this spring

My bees might like yard not mowed but the postage size portion means little in this country relative the thousands of acres of spring alfalfa that are bright yellow with dandelions right now

The grass on my field has not grown tall yet so no brush hog.

Keith, When we had the horses, I would put up some hay from the overgrown pastures, Didn't have any haying equipment but a bush hog with the side cut out does a respectable job cutting, made a rake of sorts for the tractor and used it like a dump rake, still had to fork the loose hay into the truck and unload it in a spare stall.... old school , but wasn't really worth it.

Some are opting out or finding other options:

The way my new goats are eating grass I may not have to mow all year. My gosh do they like grass. I brought the 4 home Thur night & already had to move the 16x16' pen last night.

I should mow soon





I wonder how I know if the seeds from my tall grass are viable

Hahaha Mine too!!!

I figured that mowing on May 30 still qualifies as "no mow May" since the last time I mowed was during the last week of April. I think I'll bale it.
Before

After

I killed all the dandelions in my yard and have mowed three times already. Don't worry I have about 5 acres of different clovers. They are doing great.

When I had chickens, I'd cut the grass long and than go over it with a raker and throw the clippings in the chicken pen.

That'd pretty cool. Raising them for meat or milk?

Well, it is officially June now so we can all fire up the Brush Hog's now. Actually, I probably won't Brush Hog anything until around the 4th of July. I have mowed the lawn 3 times already though.

We mowed 3 times

To eat brush, but each spring they can help by eating grass.

Rotational grazing it will do your lawn good, but it's labor intensive.

A sheep might be easier than mowing though
