Hey, I walk behind my mower, although it is powered. 1 hour and 20
minutes in the HOT Florida sun every four days in the summer. Great
exercise.


HOLY CRAP! Brings back nightmares of living in Louisiana with St.
Augustine grass. You BETTER mow that stuff every week, or next week, you
have to do two cuttings. One with a tractor so you can get the mower in
there.

Yep, St Augustine. I'm from Chicago where we had very fine bladed Marion
Blue. Took a while to get used the weeds down here they refer to as
grass.


When I moved to Louisiana after decades in southern Nevada, I asked about
the local growing practices. "What about sprinkler systems?", I asked.
People would look at you like you had a crab crawling out of your nose.
"What's a sprinkler system?", they'd ask.
