Coup de gras.Coup de gras.Well, I,m going to risk one last cut of the lawn today as it's looking a bit unkempt.
What do you think ? is anybody else cutting theirs this late ?
Re: Coup de gras.Ours needs another cut as well. I also tend to use the lawn-mower to pick up the fallen leaves on the lawn, so it'll get another going over with it set high, just to pick up the leaves once they've all fallen.

Re: Coup de gras.Yep, I do the same, then into a black bag and stick 'em in a corner to rot down, and Bob Flowerdew's your uncle.
That reminds me, there's loads of fallen leaves, on the roadway outside our house, mmmm, I wonder if the mower lead's long enough ??? Re: Coup de gras.Ours needs another cut too (what's left of it thanks to the chickens!) but as usual it's chucking it down here so will just have to wait.
Happy grass cutting Tom The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don't have

If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning Re: Coup de gras.Right, I'd better be off then sharpish, before MissEllie's rain gets up here.
Re: Coup de gras.On this forum you dont often see the words coup (coop) and gras in the same sentence, mainly because lots of us keep chickens in coops therefore there is no grass
It will be alright in the end , if its not alright, it isn't the end .

Re: Coup de gras.I haven't cut mine since march, when I got the chooks!

Re: Coup de gras.I'm waiting for a dry day at the weekend to give mine a last cut, hopefully!

Re: Coup de gras.I mowed ours yesterday. It was a bit too wet really so not great but looks a little better than it did. I decided better to do it now as the likelihood of ever having a dry day again is almost nil

Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut - Ernest Hemingway Re: Coup de gras.The lawn got it’s final cut yesterday, thankfully before the rain set in, and not a single chicken was involved, that is of course if you ignore the sandwich I had for lunch afterwards.
After the rain overnight, it is now doing a very good impression of a paddy field, so much so that I’m thinking of investing in ducks rather than chickens. Tom Re: Coup de gras.Really am hoping to do mine, should have done it on Monday but as it was frosty thought best not, it has rained since

Re: Coup de gras.Oh good, a fellow procrastinator. I never put off until tomorrow, anything I can do the day after.
