growing up we had an acre and a half lot on the edge of town.....when i 
turned 12 it became my job to mow the whole thing aswell as mowing the yards 
of several neighbors who were elderly and didnt want to mow them their 
selves....when my wife and i bought our house we got a decent deal cause the 
yard was absolute crap....fine by me, easier to start with a near blank slate 
than to try tearing everything out....much to my wifes dismay when we first 
bought the place i originally refused to plant a lawn at all.....she finally 
talked me into a patch about 20 x 25 or so in the front......the backyard is 
going to be almost totally flowers and fruit and some veggies......i figure i 
did enough mowing when i was a teenager to last me a life time
