Trying to tame my grass

Britain has always been known for its changeable and unreliable weather, but recently it has been less predictable than ever. Most days we have experienced intermittent rain and sunshine, which is certainly having a major effect on my grass.
It is sprouting up at such a ferocious rate that I am in danger of getting trapped as I try to cut it and it regrows behind me, thus fencing me in. In fact I can almost hear it growing.
I could probably use the help of a goat at the moment, or maybe I should buy a stool and a whip and try to fight it back like a lion tamer.

It must be lovely so my friend.
But yes a nuisance to have to cut it so much.
Ah the lovely green, we cant stop it growing.
Nothing but dry dusty weeds here my friend.

@Asylum I suggest the goat then you could have some delicious goat cheese and your grass would be in order

Maybe you could train the cat's to mow the grass? No, your right, cats are notoriously difficult to train. I think work for food would be a good idea for those unemployed cats.

@BelleStarr If only I could attach a small scythe to their tails.

ha ha - get a goat - that is hilarious and sounds like something out of Africa for sure. In SA we have to mow the lawns twice a week as the lawns grow at an alarming rate even in the winter. We mowed last week but this week the frost as arrived, so to prevent the roots from dying, mowing has ceased till August, when we scarify and then the new lawns start to sprout.

@BACONSTRIPSXXX The cow would fertilise the grass and make it more difficult to handle.

Half way through reading this, I was thinking about suggesting renting a goat. You beat me to it. Is such a thing possible?

@ElizabethWallace At least they would keep the grass under control.

@Asylum They would be harder to control than goats.

Go for the goat. That way you will have milk and can churn your own butter or make your own cheese! (Yuk)

@Asylum I would save yourself the waste of money not only that it tastes of goat!

That certainly includes my garden. The grass had become so tall and dense that I have had to cut it in stages, filling my garden waste bin and waiting for it to be emptied.
I can already see a vast difference between the patch that I cut yesterday and the patch that I cut last week.

The owner of the garden flat below mine was redoing her garden when I moved in here at the beginning of the month.
She had just mud with no grass but she's put seed down and now it looks like a fully mature lawn...never seen grass grow that quickly before
it's like a jungle down there now

A goat sounds like an excellent idea. Think of the happy life it would have with all that lush grass to dine on.

@Jeanniemaries This is true because if they ate grass the way that they eat cat food then it would be gone in a couple of hours.

@Asylum It's too bad the kittens don't eat grass.
