It seems like this time of the year the lawns in Terre Haute generate a lot of hay, grows faster and gets away form home owners.
Not sure why, Could be some weed like crab grass or fescue. What ever it is, it has a fatter blade than regular grass, grows fast, and it generates a lot of hay.
If I generate any hay, I blow the grass in a windrow, let it dry for an hour to two, then use a lawn sweeper to pick up the hay. My hay is added to a mulch pile for next year's garden.
I raise my mower a little, less clippings. Those who think they need to cut grass an inch off the ground have yards that look like this. There are some yards that look worse.
What's your take on the annual growth spirt? What do you do with your hay?
