Grass Clippings

This one is for Mary. I too have a hard time getting all those little grass faux-hawks that get left each mower pass because the blade isn't wide enough to cut along the wheel path. It's my fault though. In my effort to go green I purchased an electric mower. Nice and quiet and no gas to burn my grass and empty my wallet. It has a nineteen inch wheel base and an eighteen inch diameter blade.......grrrrrr. I've learned that if you line the center of the blade up with the wheel track you stand a good chance of knocking down the mini-hedge rows that would otherwise get left behind. It takes half again as much time to cut the lawn, but what else would I be doing on a weekend.................yeah, helping Dave cut Mary's lawn and drinking beer. I feel your pain (in my best Bill Clinton voice).
