hello, I'm Randall
I've been mowing my own lawn since early may this year, finally have a yard small enough to cut myself with a place to store my own equipment. bought a 140cc yard d machines 21" push mower that can have a mulching blade put on (planning on it by the start of next season) not the cool one with the Briggs & Stratton or Honda engine, but what can ya do? also bought a troybilt string trimmer at the same time. was paying a lazy kid across the street $25/cut to race a john deer riding mower back and forth across my property then just going back home. he didn't weed-eat, he didn't blow off my concrete. didn't even take his time and do the cutting right. and my property is only a little over half acre. I cut my grass about 2-3 times a week when it's sunny and dry. discovered a cool trick using my mower to clean off my front and back concrete a lot faster than using a broom.

back in the day of side discharge mowers that was a common proceedure .
Mow in ever decreasing circles so you get left with a couple of self raked piles of grass.
Once upon a time catchers were a luxury option.
