Exploiting Underpaid Workers for Fun and Profit
I pay my landscapers less than minimum wage, so it makes sense that they leave crap all over my lawn. But to me, its worth it if I don’t have to go out there in the summer with a lawnmower and weed whacker. Just don’t go barefoot in the grass…

The cattle are cleaning up the overgrowth at the edges of the lawn around the gardens and the orchard. It saves me hours, and they enjoy it the whole time. Young burdock leaves are especially palatable,

Here they finished clearing the no-man’s land between our place and our neighbor’s. The strip in the upper left shows just how overgrown it was.

Grazing between the pastures is easier than brush hogging, especially this year when the puddles are knee deep. The cattle also eat saplings and brush growing out of the rock piles between the fields, something that otherwise requires hours of hand trimming with the Stihl rotary blade.
