your lawn is shit. You need Cam's mower.

I don't use a ride-on, as said, flymo, rover, and stihl strimmer, your presuming, so don't make a clown of yourself sweetheart.

Flymo has adjustable choke, so you can have it spinning the blade 3 times faster than it at its normal preset by chocking the choke/throttle cable open a bit more, its fantastic for first cut of season, technically... 8 cuts max in our seasons, that's what? One cut every 3 weeks in majority of the gardening season which is 7 months long at max depending on weather, if you think grass that comes up to your ankle/shin Is long then your a spastic, sorry but really, 15 times a year? You keep licking that window san.

you're comparing apples with oranges - my post exaggerates my frustration of that. You're professional tool budget and the home users budget are vastly different. What your tools cope with, mine no doubt wont.

I'm sorry you find that so hard to understand. It would be a bit like me saying your a "spastic" because your saxo is slow.

lol. Really? How many back/front house gardens in the UK do you think maintain a garden with grass as long as your ankles, cupcake?

I want a lawn, not a fucking meadow. I want my dogs to play on it, not trip over in it. I don't want to take hay from it at the end of the season. I don't want the fucking animals of Farthing Wood in my back yard do I.

Edit: wait! "Location: Aberdeen"
THAT explains it. It's fucking DARK 9 months of the year there. No wonder you only cut 6 times a year.

What the actual fuck. You're the fucking spastic for not knowing how to use your and you're. Seriously.

What are the benefits of only cutting the grass 6-8 times a year?

apart from having your own jungle..

For a back garden to look tidy and tie in with borders/planters/decking and paving etc that people may have grass is far too long once it reaches ankle height...

Surely it's personal preference?

To me it's like a girl having a full bush or a nicely trimmed and shaved tuppy fro!!

Rather it be trimmed every week or so than once a month...

No benefit, just the grass probably grows slower in Scotland...

I'll*

Hopefully it will never fill up then eh... Unlike your lawn mowers and grass bins, which must get really fucking full if you only cut the grass 6 times a year... All that shoulder height grass that your flymo chops down with ease...

Stefan_Wood · 16th October 2012, 14:38

Dad cuts the grass atleast once a week in summer so i doubt 6times is right :/
But he just goes up and down and the lines always looks spot on

Fuck me, your carecup filled up quick.

No, no.. Flux capacitors are useless, your behind in times myman! Its all about hiring 2 black guys and buying a set of saftey scissors.

Prickle^p · 16th October 2012, 15:03

people arguing about how you mow grass. Incredible.

0rang3peel · 16th October 2012, 15:06

my heart yearns for a garden with grass to cut.

smiith · 16th October 2012, 15:06

It's an utter ball ache after 6 months of doing it.

JoshFurioBrookes · 16th October 2012, 15:10

One day, this forum will run out of things to argue about. But until that day, to battle!

matt_vtr_15a · 16th October 2012, 15:12

Backyard of my new place is decked and blockpaved with 2 x medium/large rectangles of grass..

I'm keeping one that I'll have to trim 6-8 x 4 times a year...

and the other is gonna be artificial for a putting/chipping green!!
