I am a very poor Minnesotan, I live in an apartment. But, the grounds crew of the apartment mow our lawn only once a week. Should I file a complaint with my rental office
On the other hand, I was born and raised in SW Minnesota and my father was one of the obsessed! He would mow (or actually I would mow) the lawn twice a week whether it needed it or not. And yes, we would then sweep the driveway, sidewalks and streets and put all of the 'clippings' in a garbage bag for disposal. The fun part about mowing my parents lawn was the walnut tree! Every other year it would produce thousands of walnuts (it is the largest walnut tree in SW MN according to the DNR!). Have you ever seen a walnut shot out of the blower of a lawn mower? Our and the neighbors siding is covered in dents from flying walnuts and we learned very quickly to move any cars parked in the street
