While not as obsessed as some I know, I do like to keep my lawns looking good. The weather is killing me and the mower, every time I walk into the shed it starts cringing in the corner. I'm three times a fortnight at the moment. Clover is the bane of my existence, but with the help of a few litres of Bin-Die, I'm getting on top of it again. Clover is the only shit that grows in the winter here. By this time of year it's a full on trench warfare to get rid of it. If anyone has a better tip for getting rid of clover I'm all ears.

Lawns - can't say enough good things about them. A nice soft place to sleep after a night on the turps, for sure.
Done a few of those impromptu luxury night stays but I found face down all night your nose gets a bit itchy from the grass and it’s early check out when the mums with kids get there because it is a public park I guess but a good coach grass can’t go wrong for a post kebab didn’t quite make it home nap.

Three times a fortnight? I live in Queensland would never consider mowing that often (but having said that my neighbour is a once a weeker).

Our suburb has a clover plague at the moment. 3 days after u mow it's back up again too. Neighbourhood looks like it's snowed. Hanging around longer this year coz the weather has been milder than usual.

Clover stands tallest at 2 am while all the other grass settles in the cold, get out there at 2am on the dot and go to town.
