Country Lawn Maintenance: 10 Essential Tips Before You Mow
If you're new to country life and the daunting task of maintaining a sprawling lawn, fear not! We've compiled ten practical tips to make country lawn care more manageable and maybe even a little fun.
1. Carry Wire Cutters
Always keep a pair of wire cutters handy. Old wires can become entangled around your mower or, worse, your ankles. Trim any excess wire to prevent unfortunate entanglements.
2. Recycle Wisely
Once you’ve untangled yourself from any wires, remember to recycle them. These can be handy for fencing and other projects around your property.
3. Understand Your Mower's Choke
If your mower sputters to a stop, check the choke lever. While it might seem useless, ensuring the mower has enough gasoline is often the real solution.
4. Be Aware of Safety Features
Modern mowers have safety features that can be a bit overzealous. They may shut off if you look away, increasing the number of pull starts needed. Keep an eye out for these quirks.
5. Stay Hydrated
Mowing during the heat of spring can quickly lead to heatstroke. Make sure you're drinking plenty of water and taking breaks to stay safe and healthy.
6. Plan Your Budget
In the country, a good mower is essential and may cost as much as a small car. Invest in a reliable tractor mower for large areas to make the task less daunting.
7. Regular Maintenance is Key
Remove the buildup of grass clippings from your mower regularly to avoid clanking sounds and improve performance. An ice pick can help with stubborn bits.
8. Avoid Electric Mowers
The logistics of using an electric mower in a large country lawn are problematic, from managing cords to potential electrical hazards. Stick to more traditional options.
9. Divide and Conquer
Break your lawn into sections and assign them to different household members. This way, everyone contributes a little, and no one feels overwhelmed.
10. Stay Positive
Don't let the grass defeat you! Even though it grows back quickly, maintaining your lawn can be a satisfying and rewarding task. Embrace the challenge and enjoy the process.
Remember, lawn care is a learning experience, and every challenge is an opportunity to hone your skills. Happy mowing!
