Caring for your
yard without a lawnmower is entirely possible and it doesn’t take as much time
as one would imagine. Not only very few tools are necessary to complete these
tasks, but also none of the tools require use of electricity or other fuel
types, making them economical and environmentally-friendly.
Cut The Grass- It isn’t difficult to use a scythe to cut grass. Once the
motion of swinging the scythe has started, it will quickly get the job done
without the need of a lawnmower. Before starting, decide on which area of grass
will be kept cut and which areas will be left to grow.
Role Of A Hand Edger- You can use hand edger as a means of separating
different areas of a yard and make them easy to recognize for individual
treatment, which can be done by rolling the blade over the ground where the
areas need to, which will keep the areas clearly defined and make grass cutting
easier.
Raise Chickens/A Goat- Keeping chickens will help to keep
yards cut as well. You need to give them movable pens so that they can easily
relocate when a section of the yard is done. You can also fence in the entire
yard and let them have the run of the area. A lawnmower isn’t required as
chickens eat the grass. Negate the need of a lawnmower by letting goats roam
your lawn with the right breed of goat being able to keep a yard at a
reasonable height. Instead of owning a goat, borrowing one can also be an
option. Moreover, there are places where you can rent grass-eating goats for
this purpose. But be careful to fence in the lawn area when considering this
method.
Plant Flowers, Vegetables, Or Herbs- To make further use of
grass-covered spaces, plant flowers, vegetables, or herbs, which will also help
you to fill up yard space that is only used for decorative purposes and make
your gardens actually work for them instead.
Consider No-mow Lawn Choices- Using no-mow lawn choices are very
effective to get out of using a lawnmower, and these sod or seeding options
grow close to the ground without getting too tall, which makes the yard easy to
walk on. Moreover, these yard choices are a more attractive alternative to
traditional lawn choices.
In a nutshell, a
gas-powered lawnmower is what is considered by some to be the standard method
for cutting just about any size yard. But some homeowners seek other options
for yard care because of storage space restrictions, difficulty of operation
and environmental concerns. Homeowners, particularly ones with small grass
areas requiring shorter cutting times, have different options for maintaining a
healthy yard that doesn’t necessitate the need for a power mower.
