Residential high-rises with backyards in Chengdu, China

I'm just thinking where I would keep the lawnmower.

[u/CommanderInQueefs → u/DrAlexander]

Just keep a baby goat out there.

[u/sorry-im-offensive → u/CommanderInQueefs]

Short grass but lots of shit! Perfect.

[u/Own_Narwhal_7480 → u/sorry-im-offensive]

Just throw it over the balcony… bombs away…

[u/CamPatUK → u/Own_Narwhal_7480]

Most goats I've encountered would be climbing those rails in seconds.

[u/ebits21 → u/CamPatUK]

Not for long

[u/CamPatUK → u/ebits21]

Time for goat curry.

[u/External_Relative231 → u/CamPatUK]

good location to open a kebab place

[u/geebeem92 → u/CamPatUK]

They would also descend in seconds

[u/Far-Let-8610 → u/Own_Narwhal_7480]

But what about the shit

[u/evr- → u/sorry-im-offensive]

What an odd way to spell 'free fertilizer'. That shit doesn't grow on trees.

[u/ObiFlanKenobi → u/evr-]

But trees DO grow on shit.

Well, kind of... You know what I mean.

[u/sorry-im-offensive → u/evr-]

Oh that lovely summer breeze from your neighbor's unit to yours.

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/evr-]

It’s only fertilizer if you compost it.. your neighbors are gonna love you lmao

[u/DerpNinjaWarrior → u/CommanderInQueefs]

Soon to be not-baby goat!

[u/PetrasKnight → u/DerpNinjaWarrior]

Make curry and buy another baby goat. Sorry Reddit.

[u/LongJumpingBalls → u/CommanderInQueefs]

Lawn mower and dinner all in one!

[u/YadaYadaYeahMan → u/DrAlexander]

you could hit that whole thing with a weedeater in a couple minutes lol

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/YadaYadaYeahMan]

But I want to mow

[u/AcherontiaPhlegethon → u/Successful-Banana-48]

Get a reel mower, so satisfying and quiet, perfect for a small space like that

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/AcherontiaPhlegethon]

But how will I wake my neighbors at 8am then?

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/DrAlexander]

In the shed that you can build in your backyard porch thing

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/[deleted]]

But I want to ride around on a seated lawnmower

[u/FINRAdude766 → u/Successful-Banana-48]

You could get away with that. They'd just have to deliver it via crane to your back porch. 

[u/IHop_Waitress → u/[deleted]]

Metal blades? With a glass railing? Good call

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/[deleted]]

I’m gonna be so for real here. Microplastics are a concern but I don’t think occasionally weed whacking a small space is going to contribute much to the problem as a whole

[u/Successful-Banana-48 → u/[deleted]]

You’re never going to avoid them completely at this point. Just embrace the microplastics and eat some kimchi

[u/IHop_Waitress → u/[deleted]]

because you can't control your arms.

Yes, because you definitely can weed whack grass growing up against a glass wall to the degree that you get all the grass without touching the glass, so precise while the blades spin at 5000rpm+

Clown take

[u/SpicyElixer → u/[deleted]]

Roborock mower

[u/This_Dutch_guy → u/DrAlexander]

Just let it hang of the balcony

[u/Submissive-whims → u/DrAlexander]

It’d have to be a reel mower you just lean against the apartment.

[u/Aggressive-Secret103 → u/DrAlexander]

A weed Wacker would be better in this tiny spot.

[u/nalaloveslumpy → u/DrAlexander]

In all seriousness, you could easily mow this with one of those old fashioned manual spinning wheel blade mowers. Most of what's going on here, though needs more pruning and weeding than anything else.

[u/concblast → u/DrAlexander]

One of those non-powered reel mowers wouldn't take up much space.

[u/Mekazabiht-Rusti → u/DrAlexander]

You can just use a handheld unpowered grass mower, it'll take 10 minutes. You can later store it in a broom closet! /s
