Mowing The Worst Lawn Of The Season (Bobcat Mower Vs. Jungle Garden)

This is what happens when you decide to garden. Just say no.

Q: Why don't you bag the grass?
A: No need, the heat, humidity, and bugs break down the clippings into free nitrogen fertilizer over a few days. Plus, University of Florida recommends doing what I am, so if you have a complaint take it up with them (https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/lawns/lawn-care/mowing-your-florida-lawn.html)

Q: What equipment are you using?
A: See timestamps below. Not mentioned are DJI Spark for drone shots and STIHL BR800 to blow off.

Q: Why don't you stripe lawns?
A: Striping lawns is not a common local practice. Most lawns here are cut too short to stripe, with yards this small or this full of stuff you don't get many chances to, and also because my main goal is to film which means filming in smaller sections rather than long back and forth.

Q: Why do you work by yourself?
A: I mow three days a week. I am mainly a stay at home dad. The amount it would cost to legally hire someone (workers compensation, social security/Medicare taxes, etc) is not worth the extra productivity they would bring.

Q: Is the new Bobcat mower yours?
A: I am currently in the middle of a several month demo from Bobcat. I was not paid to feature the Bobcat mower, am not obligated to say anything about it one way or another, and as this video shows am allowed to put it through absolutely ANYTHING I want to! :D

Q: How much did you charge for this yard?
A: Not quite $30 this time, but still less than a normal initial service would have been. I really wanted to make a video on it. For one reason to test the Bobcat ZS4000 mower, for another to make some great footage for you, and lastly to make that sweet YouTube cheddar(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNaTJ61032U&t)

Q: Why are you using electric lawn care equipment?
A: I was sent them to test, so they didn't cost me anything. I like saving on fuel, but the biggest reason is because when I film I have to move the camera so much. It is nice to not have a gas engine constantly running, making noise, fumes, and wasting a little bit of money every time I set it down to move the camera.

Q: What was all that stuff in the yard?
A: Mainly kid stuff, lots of abandoned gardening boxes and a fence that looks like it kept the garden separate from the rest of the backyard. Maybe to keep dogs or kids out?
