We mow just often enough to stop the township from sending angry letters. So about once a month of that.

When I moved in, I told my neighbor I only mow my yard once every 2 weeks. Something I read that said it would help the bees. He’s done the same to match. We also have lightning bugs now, which I didn’t notice the first year.

I aim for once every 2 years lol.

I think my neighbor doesn’t like me, but I got butterflies for days

Are you supposed to do it more? When I lived with my parents and had access to a yard that’s about how much we did it (cause it was annoying to do it more)

Some people mow twice a week. Lawn is basically their hobby.

Before I bought a house, I only knew once a week when I was growing up. Seemed to be based on the neighborhood (upper Midwest).

I usually have to mow once a week when we’re not in drought, otherwise the lawn gets too high, but during the heat of summer I don’t have to mow at all because the grass goes dormant.

My yard is a hot mess and the fireflies have started showing up.

Also rabbits, and there’s a fox den nearby and they show up occasionally.

I don’t like the fox because it took a huge hairy musty shit in my window well, it was putrid. I don’t know if he pooped into the well like an outhouse, or popped with his little head poking out.

So lawns are the reason people don’t vote. They are distracted by mowing. And the ruling class likes it. I get it.

It’s easy, just live where no one else wants to live and then just be permanently broke.
