Sounds terrible, keep your grass around 2” in Spring and walk around before mowing.

Obviously won’t work for large fields with tall growth, in which case you could use a scythe instead of mower, or wear a respirator if you might be mowing animals.

This. Even if you have a big yard it's worth it trust me.

My father in law always told me a story about when he was young and went outside while his older brother was mowing the lawn. The lawnmower hit a rock and flew and hit my father in law in the face and knocked his eye out of his eye socket.

Yeah I'm always a hard ass and yell at my wife or dogs to go inside while I'm mowing or weed whipping

Excuse me sir, but I believe it’s called weed whacking.

I'm a bit more lax about the weed whacking. I've caught it enough times in the shin, it stings but it's not too bad

I've sent some gravel an impressive distance, but I also use this like death spinner thing that's closer to a circular saw blade than a filament
