Its nearly the end of No Mow May - or in my case, No Mow 2021!
The paths are virtually non-existent, apart from the couple that are the main routes to the end of the garden.
I had an Aunt -in law who had a new carpet on the stairs. To avoid wear on the middle of the carpet, she had the idea of going up the left or right side of the treads, not the middle! Each week, the side would change so, when we'd visit, the first question (almost) was "Which side of the stairs is it, this week?"
I've been trying out this theory on the garden paths - walking down the edges, not the middle to flatten the encroaching grass and weeds.. Sometimes I straddle the path, one foot either side and waddle along looking as if I've just got off a very wide horse.
I need to devise a circuit that includes every path in the garden and do several laps of it daily. If I can trample the grass, there'd be no need to struggle with a lawn mower.
