Doesn’t need to. Frequent, short cutting encourages grass, squeezes out the weeds.
Well, I actually like weeds—that way I don’t have to fight them ! I have them in my lawn, but I admire their flowers. I think I identify with them; it’s my rebellious side. And as you may have noticed, they’re the strongest and most tenacious

Oh I agree but you have to have the grass in the beginning to do that and mine is none existant even though I see it in other people’s gardens. 
You can have mine I have 12 sacs of them waiting to be taken to the Decheterrie

I have just bought a giant sack of birdseed and enough wax balls and a bag of dried mealy worms for a very cold winter upcoming for the birds in my garden. Last week’s bag of about 20kg of birdseed has some left - I know I’ve more than enough for this year so am going to toss last year’s leftover seeds onto the sparsely grassed patches and see what happens.
I’m shaĺlow. I’ve left the pretty weeds.
3 hours ? And the rest, to do mine.
Though a lightweight electric mower helps a lot.
They’re pretty, aren’t they? And all those insects gathering nectar—it’s so full of life!
