Who "gets off" on yardwork??

Recommended Posts

No real interest in it all. That's why I paved over the tiny little townhouse yard that I had ... now I've got a lovely patio with landscaping that my friends call the "urban oasis."

Oh yeah, and that landscaping? It's done gratis by my neighbors, who have both worked as professional landscapers in the past and who are itching for more dirt to play with than just their limited plot of land. So I've got beautiful, professional-quality landscaping ... and I just pay the cost of the plants.

Have I mentioned I love my neighbors?:D

I have 3 fucking acres of grass to mow... thank god I have a riding mower.. takes me all day with it and I have to do it in the morning or late afternoon/early evening. I used to do it at night until the headlights stopped working.

I like a nice yard. I've been working on mine really hard this year and it looks pretty good. I put in some new beds around the pool and along the fence and planted some more crepe myrtles.

Over all I like it but I hate pulling weeds and crab grass.>:(

Landscaping has been a hobby of mine for years. I totally get off on it.

Note to BillyVance: Get rid of that shitty riding mower. I also have about 3 acres of lawn and I use a 20HP Toro Tractor. 2 1/2 hours and I'm done.B|

Netting and mulch are your friends. As for crab grass, unless you're willing to use chemicals you're kinda stuck with that shit.

All I can say is that I did not mow my lawn in July (nor August yet) and I know at least one other jumper that did the same.

Yard work is for golfers, not jumpers...

Headlights? :D



Hey now, I have 2 acres and I have a headlight on my riding lawn tractor.

I have no cup holder, but I do have a roll bar.

I love yard work - except when its 100 f-ing degrees. I work in side all day and look forward to working in the yard when I get home.
Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I use both but we have these weeds called "chambers bitter" that look like little palm trees. The have small seed pods under the leaves that scatter and grow on top of the mulch and in any crack or seam. I hate them bastards.

In that case, gasoline and a match are your friends.:P
