re: #157 Anymouse
I abandoned my polluting gasoline-powered lawn mower (well, to be fair, it failed and repair would be too costly) for a basket lawnmower and a scythe. (I can mow my lawn just as fast.)
Not all environmentalism is about “living in lean-tos” as folk like Scott Pruitt would have everyone believe.
I lived with a push lawnmower (we had a relatively small lawn) until we got chickens. We had them running about during the day, and their fertilizer made the lawn too thick to get through with a push mower.
