Default What to do with grassed area


"Broadback" wrote in message
...
I have rather a large garden. One section about 25x25 yards is rough grass.
Until now I have cut it regularly, which is rather tiring especially as
there are a number of trees around which I keep the area free of grass and
weeds. Now the time has come when I am unable to mow it, what will happen
if I leave it wild? Will it become infested with nettles and thistles, or
just an attractive collection of various "weeds"? At the moment there are
plenty of interesting flowers growing, however if it became thistle and
nettle infested it may well upset my neighbours. Is there an easy and
acceptable solution please? I cannot afford to have someone to come in
every week or so to cut it.

Perhaps you could compromise, and have your grass cut every 3 weeks, its
only the summertime, or perhaps someone with a goat, you could tether......
