I don't enjoy mowing grass. We have about 3/4ths of an acre of might be considered a lawn. We tried using sheep for about 6 months but they were not effective for us. Only eating the clover and talk about pollution, greasy crap all over. Sold the sheep and got a diesel tractor with bushog. I mow about every 2-3 weeks. We have another 10 acres of grass that I let an amish guy mow and bale. He feeds his cattle and sheep in the winter. Near perfect recycling.

We heat with wood using harvested downed trees in our forest. They grow and fall on their own. Our house is off the grid at home. We only get there on the weekends. Have a small solar array and use a generator to supplement. Sorry for getting off topic.
