I optimize my pattern for minimal direction changes, which saves me 3-5% on the time it takes to mow
I optimise mine for max clibbins dispersion.
Or if it’s really thick and damp I’ll do a patern like 2 rows forward 1 row back so they get finely mulched instead of clumped. Think a narrow clockwise rectangle on the right of a given square of grass that slowly walks to the left so the clipings are pulled away from the uncut grass and then run ove again on the return trip. Also helps in case it’s thick enough that the grass isn’t fully being cut.
This is genius. I usually just get my blower out to break up the clumps, but I might give this a go
I’m totally trying this the next time I wait too long between mowings!
This guy Dads.
But you have to alternate the pattern each time you mow or you’ll get wheel ruts.
Only if you have a heavy mower and drive in the exact same spot every time
I definitely notice it with a push mower, but there’s also the issue of the grass blades themselves always being cut in one direction. That’ll produce a noticable effect over time if you don’t vary mowing vector.
Same here. It’s sort of a square shape following the borders and obstacles. I think the time savings are much greater compared to doing a 180 on either end, or walking the mower backwards.
I try to go the opposite direction on the next mow, if I remember.
The other day my daughter told me she was hungry… All I did was ask what she wanted to eat! I will carry that with me for all my days
“Hi hungry, I’m dad”
I had an electric mower so my pattern was just “don’t run over the extension cable.”
Last Time I grilled, I didn’t ask who wanted their meat rarer than having a good chef
My robot mower does this. It traverses the lawn like a Roomba. Took me awhile to get used to.
My Roomba vacuums in a pattern. It finds the edges of the room, finds obstacles, and then goes ||||| across the middle of the room, doing little circles around table legs.
I’d need 6 of 'em for my lawn, last time I checked. Would bee nice tho
Must have a big yard! Mine is good for 1/2 acre but it could just run more often so I think you could stretch it a bit
I use one of them Husqvarna roombas to do my lawn. It cuts any way it wants ☹️
🤢🤮
Same. No shame, as I spend my time working to buy supplies, and then use those supplies to grill
How do you do a pattern? Do you have to adjust the height?
The height, the direction, the updog.
What is “updog”?
Not much. And you?
Dad club confirmed
All is well, thanks.
My general mood and demenur thanks for asking
what does that mean?
The one who vomited, did so such that his steaks would be affected
