A natural way to cut grass

sheep

If you don't have sheep to help you cut the grass, you will have to wield a scythe (or find people to do it for you).

It's backbreaking labor. It takes a long time. You have to either leave the cuttings on the grass (where they may leave yellow marks as they block the sun from getting to the grass beneath) or you will have to rake them up for the animals (which means carting them away, another project entirely unto itself).

I do agree that there is something satisfying about being out in the sunny weather, doing something useful with your entire being. I worry about freckles and wrinkles, however, and I am also quite bad at the scythe.

The answer, obviously, is sheep.
