They aren't dry enough to mow most times, and they're all spindly that you just find yourself wrangling with these more than cutting them up. That, and the critters that tend to reside in moist environments that you’ll probably stir up during the mowing can be quite a hassle. You really have to arm yourselves with the right smarts and tools to deal with these properly.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.dennyslawn.com/" rel="nofollow">Kristina Cobb @ Denny's Lawn</a> Kristina Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07705180862887676656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-86577015402623913652015-06-27T22:37:50.461+01:002015-06-27T22:37:50.461+01:00tWG: I bet that made you jump.tWG: I bet that made you jump.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-33139903365035843502015-06-27T22:37:24.804+01:002015-06-27T22:37:24.804+01:00Simon: It's only in the past couple of years t...Simon: It's only in the past couple of years that I have seen the occasional toad.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-72579369081442701112015-06-27T22:36:34.258+01:002015-06-27T22:36:34.258+01:00Adrian: I think the sudden noise of the mower stun...Adrian: I think the sudden noise of the mower stuns them for a short while as they are usually still for about a minute before escaping back to cover.Midmarsh Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10980417659811194899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626959970978663576.post-18602197663830330282015-06-27T22:35:15.914+01:002015-06-27T22:35:15.914+01:00It is Keith.
