Lawn mowing

[oddoneout]

... a thought for RichardB or others with a tiny lawn - why not replace the grass with camomile, no need to cut, and it smells nice when you walk on it...

Depends on what you want from that patch of green sward. Camomile can't take much treading, so stepping stones/slabs might be needed,and is much more particular in its requirements than grass. Seed mixes for lawns can be tailored to light and soil conditions, and how much wear and tear they'll get.

Lawns are necessary if you want to make use of the garden for sunbathing, surely? That's one of the privileges here - an alternative to having to head off to the nearest park; and who wants to have the likes of me out there spoiling the public view?

Ah, but who wants to sunbathe these days?

I, personally, have never understood the attraction.

On a side note - there is a tanning place near us which proudly announces in the window: "If you bare it, we bronze it!"
