“I primarily take care of the areas of house buildings. I nonetheless trim hedges, trim bushes and generally reduce grass. I used to do landscaping, however now I do not,” says Linas.
– Is that this your personal firm?
– Particular person actions.
– For one, I discovered on the calendar that Might 28 was No Garden Mowing Day. Though whereas driving by Bajori, I noticed grass being reduce and hedges being reduce in a number of locations. And the way was your Sunday – with out mowing the garden or with it?
– I strive to not work on Sundays. Saturdays often too. The age got here after I began to assume that possibly I ought to work much less, as a result of the cash neither will increase nor decreases from weekend work. Apparently, I had a quieter day with out mowing the garden.
– Do you’ve gotten your personal approach?
– Sure. I’ve been doing this for a very long time, possibly 14 years. After shopping for the whole lot. I really like that job, I actually prefer it. A kind of jobs the place you go to work to loosen up. Solely that it’s bodily tough. Who would not prefer to see the results of the work instantly after passing by?
– And other people do not disturb you – you flip in your zirzala and you do not hear something.
– Now a part of my gear is battery-powered, after I reduce with a “trimmer”, it buzzes quietly. You’ll be able to take heed to the radio whereas working. I additionally reduce hedges with cordless instruments. I nonetheless have a gasoline one for pruning bushes, however I even have a battery one, nevertheless it’s extra handy with a gasoline one. Properly, the petrol tractor can also be louder.
– Now generally they are saying that they do not even mow the grass anymore, they simply shave it. And so each week or two. Is it essential or a matter of style? How do you’re feeling about it?
– Shaving extra out of laziness. As a result of the grass ought to preserve a measurement of 5 cm, after which it ought to be reduce not each two weeks, however each 3-4 days. There are individuals who have giant areas and can’t mow them rapidly, and there are those that solely have about 2 acres – 10×20 m, which they mow each different day. They are saying, I meditate, my work is sitting. Such grass is simple to look after. And people who sow giant areas of garden are stunning to have a look at, however tough to keep up. Prior to now, I used to mow extra grass within the homesteads. One buyer says, “I come on Friday, I mow, I have a look at it after I depart on Sunday – it is stunning. However I am leaving, and subsequent Friday it is the identical once more.” In such circumstances, those that can afford to rent, and people who can’t, endure.
It is the identical with grass as with nails or hair – should you reduce it typically, it grows rapidly, however should you depart it longer, that progress slows down. For some motive, everybody thinks that nothing must be completed after planting grass. The best possibility is to put out the cobblestones – then you’ll solely sometimes have to scrape the moss from the gaps. And grass requires loads of care. To ensure that it to be stunning, it have to be continually sprayed from weeds, fertilized, aerated, scarified, and so forth.
