I personally think uncut is better as it looks more natural, and is probably better for bees and other insects. The flowers and other weeds that grow make it look nicer as well.

I don't think cutting a lawn is that bad as long as its not done too often, though.

edit: grass. This is a post about grass.

Edit: Lawns, like the grass in your lawn, jesus christ.

Well, my mind is in the gutter I guess. Yards, I like a balance. Wild in defined spaces; food garden without weeds; open yard is literally mowed weeds, not too short. Flower garden has some weeds. We get lots of bees and butterflies with this scheme.

(On the question I thought you were asking, slight preference for uncut)

I'm bald anyway so it doesn't really matter, cut or uncut, it's all the same.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

Well there is a segment of length, where the length of uncut has more disadvantages than cut. But this is outweighed by the advantages, once a certain threshold is reached.

Uncut. Infantile mutilation should be illegal.

It's usually better to read the post before writing a comment

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 days ago

Based on the username, I think it was heading this way regardless.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So the lawn isn't a euphemism for a penis? /S

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think you're confusing lawn with carpet, and penis with vagina.

That happens to everyone though so no judgement. This one time I was sucking this dick for a good 10 minutes before realizing it's not pussy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago

I hate when that happens and im too embarrassed to mention anything so I just politely finish up and go on my way.

I like it uncut. I think it's better for the birds, plants and insects, and it feels better under my feet.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Also looks better. Bare lawns are just ugly, weeds and flowers and different grass species are the real shit.

My dude, with a tital and description like that, you should've seen the innuendo coming from all the way in Proxima Centauri.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

I know, thats the joke :)

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

Pretty sure straight up grass is not all that great for most critters regardless. I know some folks mention that all clover is actually decent since it doesn’t grow all that high and is still good for insect life.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Uncut, for sure. I like a good thick slice of saucisson and when it comes precut its always too thin.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I'm currently in an apartment so I don't have one, but when I did I let it all hang out. Let the bush breathe!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Its hard to smoke uncut so I prefer cut.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I can appreciate cut, uncut, they're all really beautiful. I guess I probably prefer uncut, just so they hang around a little longer.

Edit: Sorry, thought this was about flowers, not grass.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Eh, flowers are in lawns, and are a big benefit to leaving it uncut.
