Our grass gets as green as anyone's in the summer, but I mow about 4-5 times a year. I stopped buying batteries for the riding lawnmower. They were expensive and never survived more than one season. Now I fill up the portable air tank, top off the tires, and jump the mower with the truck. Easier and cheaper. When I was in Seattle, I couldn't figure out what these giant plants were in the diches. They were hay bales meant to stop erosion in construction areas. Turns out, they get so much rain, hay bales were sprouting like prolific house plants.
