[Ag-eq] Lawnmowing

[nfoster at extremezone.com]

Tracy:

A friend told me that he took 2 stakes and put them in the ground then tied a
rope between them.  He would mow following the rope then move it over the width
of the mower.  I hope that makes sense.

I pay someone to mow because my yard is almost half an acre.  I do use my small
push mower to mow between the beds and the edges.  The lawn service uses a
riding mower, they also weed eat along the fence and drainage ditch.

My mower is one of the old fashioned kind where I'm the motor!  It works well in
the small areas.
