Hello,<p>Just figured I mention a experiment I've been running at work for the last month.<p>Where I work is much like a industrial park and we have 3 or 4 diff't contractors who mow diff't complexes.<p>Our 'property' is somewhat mingled in between all the properties, and the property lines are somewhat vague.<p>So, heres what I do. When I mow my sections, I leave a strip of grass on the property line that I use to mow and see what happens. Sure enough, the other contractor comes in and mows it. Its great. So far, I've got 4 swaths to 'go over' to their side. Its great fun! At this rate, I figure they may be mowing the whole section by the end of the year.<p>Also, we have a lot of planting areas and what not on property lines. This too is a fun game. I installed a bed last year, that we are suppose to maintain, and got another company to edge it for me. They even started mulching it, but I guess their supervisor came and stopped them. Was funny, because only the 3 ft next to the edge was mulched and only for about 10 ft.<p>I've also had a few guys fertilize a few sections....thought that was very nice of them. Just plays havoc on my own fertilizer program. I have to be careful because once I didn't realize it and fertilized the same section twice in 2 weeks. That grass grew like crazy, and luckily didn't burn out. <p>Just seeing if any of you guys have any fun games you like to play. <p>steveair<p>(and oh ya, when fall comes, I love blowing the leave game. One contractor caught on I was my leaves on his property and he blew them right back. I of course, to keep entertained, blew them right back. I think those leaves moved about 3 times back and forth before I gave in and picked them up.)<br><p><font size="1">Edited by: steveair
