It seems cash-strapped Birmingham City Council is more interested in cutting costs than grass in its latest austerity move.
The West Midlands local authority has announced it will lay slow-growing turf at its parks in order to save money.
While this might sound bonkers, officials at the council reckon this move will mean the grass needs to be cut every four to six weeks instead of the normal fortnightly period, according to the Birmingham Mail.
But if you can't afford the outlay on new turf, or just like keeping it low-tech and doing it the old fashioned way, why not try one of our huge range of mowers?
Our innovative Flymo Micro Lite Electric Hover Lawn Mower does just what it says on the tin, and sits very slightly above ground level to get rid of those annoying turning circles on older grass-cutters.
Available for just £49.95 (including VAT) this is an absolute steal. Check it out today!
