Mowing Season, Part 1

Posted on July 18, 2016March 3, 2025 By stega

Now that the rains have ended, it’s time to post pictures of before and after mowing. First, I should say that, because the previous owners allowed horses on the property instead of mowing it last summer, we had a lot of loose soil. (They apparently did so because they didn’t want to pay for mowing, but considering the low cost we paid, we just shake our heads and sigh.) This past spring we basically let everything grow. We did no pre-spraying along the fencelines or stables, and while this made the weeds almost unmanageable, it gave us a good understanding of what it takes to wrangle things here. While we can do a lot of the work on our own, saving our energy for areas near the house and garage is the smart thing to do and we are more than happy to pay professionals to help us with the rest. With that said…
