For what reason do people

[T Clifton]

Want to mow the outer edge of their property blowing towards the road? 1/4 acre (10,890 sq ft) lot up to 30 acres. 90%+ of the grass you mow is going to end up in your own yard. It makes no sense to blow the outer strip of your lawn in the road. I don't care about motorcyclist, cars driving by catching your grass clippings, or the fact that you've made your work look bad. I'd love to know the logic behind this thought process? Thanks, and move this to the gardening thread if need be.

Probably lazy and let their grass get too high and can’t blow it inward or they’ll choke up their mower.

Because we live in a free country, by god.

One lap around the outside isn't going to change the 90% of the grass that they mow and is still in their yard. If anything it's advertising that they don't know how a mower works.

I love it. Makes me look better. Just curious about the logic of blowing grass into the road. 1 strip.

So they mow the first lap one way and then change direction for the rest? Might be psychopaths.

No clue. It makes no sense to me that the outside strip of grass is blown into the road. I'm curious to the thought process of using a lawnmower to blow grass in front of your property, when 90% of the grass mowed will end up on your own property.

If "It's a status symbol of I mowed this week", that's a valid answer

It's not even a problem. Just curious about the logic.

maybe it's because the mower isn't strong enough to blow the rest of it into the road....

Who the hell mows their own yard?

I like that humble brag.

mower + gas + annual service + storage for said mower + half a Saturday 20-ish weeks a year > paying some else to do it

Cool story. Nobody is talking about your finances.

We have a baller out here. His name is VolunteerHillbily...................

That's possible. Maybe answers are exactly what I was thinking when I asked "For what reason".

I actually have a Kubota tractor with a mower deck in the barn. Just trying to make you feel better little man.

We live in a "free" country where anyone can do whatever he or she wants at the expense of someone else. I despise untidiness. Right up there with ungodliness. I should know. Been both.

I always blow mine back to the yard to try and cover up the bare spots

 

[VolNExile]

No one here uses a grass clippings bag?

No; it's all sloppy seconds in Tennessee.

It is kinda like peeing in the pool. It'll go away.
