    Anything Ian says may or may not be garbage, it may also be his own opinion or it may not be his opinion at all, it may just be something he felt like stating anyone following his advice does so at their own risk and may be doing something Ian would actually advise against.
    And if you don't like what Ian has to say use the ignore function if you don't know how ask i will gladly tell you

    If it could have gone wrong today, it did.
    I never work weekends though having the kids home from school yesterday, had a catchup today.
    1st yard was an overgrown yard.brushie it, pull the rideon out, Flat tyre. No probs i'll push it over with the 196d. filled 6 chaff bags on the front lawn and started on the back. Phone rings ,take the call, go to start the honda and whack... Starter rope breaks and flicks me in the nuts. Pack up.Home for repairs. Temp fixes in place and off to next job. Back handed a 2 yr old german shepard. Felt a bit guilty as i'm a big fan of dogs. He was just letting me know who's yard it was and got a little too close while giving me some lip.( We're good mates now). Anyway ran out of petrol on the ride on at the most furtherest piont from the trailer, backed into my gate ripping it off the hinges, sit down with a scotch as u do only to have 1 sip out of it and drop the glass smashing it to pieces.
    Gonna go back to sleep now before i sprain my thumb.

    Sent from my scotch smelling motorola smartarsed phone.

    I have very heavy shade at the front of my place because we have 4 huge Liquidambar trees on my nature trip. It is always a battle to get the grass (Sir Walter) growing under there but the front half of it is looking pretty good at the moment. It's not as thick as most lawns because of the shade but its looking as good as it gets. I always cut it on the highest setting to give it the best chance to grow in the shade, but I noticed on Monday morning someone decided to cut it for me on Sunday- on about the 3rd lowest setting of the mower. It's now all yellow and looks terrible. I doubt whether it will grow back before Winter too, so will it will probably end up just being dirt by May. I know it's not the end of the world but it just ****s me! It was not long either.
    I have no idea who cut it either I guess it was one of my neighbours who have ordinary lawns.

    Palm trees of all shapes sizes and descriptions. They are a pest, an eyesore and should be outlawed completely in Australia!

    Old palm fronds left lying around in the wet season make perfect trays to collect water for the mozzies to breed in.

    Just backed into my first wasp nest whilst whipper snipping. Got about 5 bites to the neck. Another lesson learnt.

    Mowed a resi lawn with the ztr with mulch plates in this morning. It was a bit long and had a shower of rain as I was mowing so it was a bit clumpy. Ran over it again and it turned out pretty good. Had a quick look around, and out the gate and loaded up. Went back to shut the gate and there's a pile of sodden clippings 44" wide and 4" deep that fell out of the deck when I took off.
