Cutting the lawn yet?

[Two_Sheds]

Cutting your lawn yet? We don't need to, with 3 guinea pigs which get rotated around the lawn. They eat up our kitchen scraps too, and weeds (they lurve dandelion and sow thistle)
they play dead too, just for a laugh...she'll lie like this for about ten mins if you let her. Doh!

OH cut the grass 3 weeks ago and it needs cutting again already! Bernie aka Dexterdog

Your guineas are lovely Two Sheds. THats how my mum gets her lawn done too!

Am expecting to do the lawn this weekend.

Got the grass cut last weekend. It's really putting a spurt on now but the trouble is when we let the doggies out into the garden they just love to dig in the soft wet earth. Anyone know what dog speak is for DON'T DIG.

I cut the 'lawn' a couple of weekends ago and it needs doing again. Hoping to convince OH that some chickens in an ark being moved around the green area we call lawn will do the job for me. Please tell me/him that this is the case and I might just be a step closer to getting my chooks.

I've already cut the 'lawn' twice and now as soon as it dries up enough it will have to be cut again. It is positively 'screaming' out of the ground

What do you do with the currents they lay?

What do you do with the currents they lay?

They produce 2 types of currant: soft ones, which they eat, and harder ones the next time, which we just leave on the grass...it's a small amount, probably only a tablespoon each per day (well, you did ask )
They do most of their poos in their bed (must make it warmer) and all the used bedding (shredded newspaper) goes on the heap

We've mown our lawn and field 3 times since Xmas, and it needs it again... already!

[zebedee]

I like guinea pigs. At least they are bite sized! Sorry, didn't mean it really.

[pigletwillie]

Just the size for a barbeque zebedee.

We have no lawn, it was a case of either drinking wine in the evening whilst sat by the pond or lugging the mower about every week, a no brainer for me really. However a chap at work has just started mowing his large lawn and he brings me in the clippings to feed my lottie compost bins.

Mr OWG and myself have the right balance here...

I sit and drink wine... he mows the lawns!

However, he has a ride-on mower, as its pretty hard to mow 1/3 of an acre with a normal mower! (That's why he likes mowing the lawn, as he gets to drive a mower around )

Yup, have cut it twice so far this spring (but mainly because I wanted the clippings to start a sheet mulched bed
