So if your garden is reasonably large, and you don't have the time (or
the gardener) to maintain large borders, and you don't have the desire
(or the money) for large scale 'hard landscaping' then you may well
end up with a garden which is mostly lawn, and which can produce
mowings faster than the borders can consume them.


You could choose to have more shrubbery and less lawn. Shrubs need less
care than lawns, I find, and shrubs can absorb a lot of cuttings.

From time to time you do need to cut the shrubs back, but not as often as
lawnmowing, shredding is more fun than mowing, and if you layer the grass
cuttings with shreddings they don't go green slime on you.
