Lawnmowing length
Mowed our lawn today, for the first time in about a month (being Down Under, it's summer here, not winter).
Took me from 3:40pm to 7pm -- three hours and 20 minutes. Granted, that includes running out of gas three times and having to refill, plus stopping to move things out of the way, and pushing away at the overgrown edge areas a bit.
Still -- three hours -- wow!!!
I kept meaning to measure how long it took to mow the lawn, but kept forgetting to note the start time. Now I know.

Maybe you need to get a horse. Or goat. Or something that eats grass instead of gasoline and time. Before the "civilized" white people came, how did the grass stay short? Or did it?
Horse is too much upkeep -- plus would need to build a horsie shelter,and much higher fences (and fence across the back). Goat would be less upkeep, but still need a shelter and a fence.
Plus, it would then make the yard non kid-friendly (mammal poop, and couldn't let them walk around unattended).
Before Setttlement: the grass seems to max out a waist height or shoulder height, depending on the species.
