How did people study at night school before electricity? How did we cut our grass? What did people do before we had roads and autos? Seriously?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52752464 ... 2. Common people did not have lawns, they had nothing but dirt, or a small garden with flowers, or maybe some kind of paving. Only rich [eo[;e and nobles had patches of only soft lawn grass. Gardeners cut it with shears, on their hands and knees. Grass lawns are a fairly new feature of houses. ... Grass is the most important thing that a farm grows. Most people lived on farms. Grass was cut by hand with scythes, dried, and stored for winter to keep animals alive. Grass was eaten by farm animals in pastures. Royalty might have had pretty lawns in their fancy gardens, these were also cut with scythes. Scythes are probably something people should get their hands on to make more out of their property if they are not large enough for it to makes sense to own hay-making machinery. The hay that is made can be used in chicken or rabbit coops, or to mulch veggie gardens. People are only half-right when they say lawns are dumb. Grass is smart. Additionally, people grew "lawns" and raised grass to feed sheep,getting that "manicured" look before lawn mowers were invented.
