Throw away your string trimmer and leaf blower
from Prosperity Homestead · host Justin Hitt
Have the balls to design for humans rather than consumer goods. Unless you are a landscaper by trade, you are likely using string trimmers and leaf blowers the wrong way. These devices are sold by challenging your manhood, yet make you look weak. Do this to never blow another leaf, yet have your yard leafless. Do this to eliminate the need to string trim. You can have a lawn and still be holistic. While I’d rather you have a pasture, you don’t have to make so much noise and cause distraction to have grass. This approach reduces the time you are working for big box stores. You’ll spend more time with your family enjoying your small farm or homestead. Today’s episode has advice that works for suburban and urban spaces as well. Throw away your string trimmer and leaf blower, you don’t need them.
