Bro.. I'm not cool with mowing that much grass. Do I live there AND make enough money to pay for full time lawncare? My shit would look like a jungle and I would ruin that beautiful spot.

Finally met someone who share the same vibes with me 😜 My neighbours hate me.

I will come and be your lawn guy. Sounds like bliss walking my mower round there everyday.

Walking?? You're a man, amongst men.

Get yourself a push-mower and you could spend the rest of your days without finishing the job!

I'm still opting for the zero turn

Push mower is the only option

Get sheep.

Dude….all you’d have to do is buy a few goats or some sheep! Lawn mowing covered!

Here in Norway you would just cut it once and have a robot driving around cutting daily.

Or get goats, write off expenses as farm costs, but they cut and make grass nutritious themselves

I lived in Switzerland and you could rent goats and you pen them off in the field you want them to mow and you keep making the boundaries bigger.

They make short work of the grass but escaped a lot. Many a time I had to try herd goats back into a field. I'm sure it's easier to herd cats.

Hold up. Rent? Do you have to pay for the escaped ones? Might as well buy some goats, if so. Lol Do I grt to keep the kid if they throw one down? So many questions

You would probably contact the farmer or a vet if one of them seemed pregnant.

You could buy your own, but most people would rent them off a farmer and he would drop them off at your field in a trailer. If any of his goats aren't there when he's scheduled to pick up the goats you have to pay for the missing goats.

Usually this isn't a problem because they're very happy to have a big closed off field full of grass to eat. But if some one (in my case usually tourist kids) would leave a gate open the goats liked to explore and would some times charge at you. You would have to shout at them and make yourself big. I wasnt good at doing it but I had a Swiss German neighbour who shout at them with a stick all the way back to the pen. He was a lovely guy, but terrifying when herding goats.

Just buy a cow, sheep, goat, alpaca, or donkey to eat all that grass for you. But don't buy a llama... never buy a llama.
