Subject: Thurman Maness Post about DOT mowing around his driveway
” I know for a fact, that from my residence, six miles to Pittsboro, no other driveway looks so shabby. And I am willing to bet, that no driveway, in the other direction, toward Siler City, has ragweed waist high.”
Dear Thurman Maness,
I make the trip from Siler City to Pittsboro from time to time, and I promise I will check for other driveway ragweed et al.
Having operated a 15 ft bat wing bush hog that I bought second hand from another owner who had purchased it from the DOT, I can tell you that it is not nearly as easy to maneuver around a fence post or mailbox as your usual lawn mower. It is heavy duty and heavy, and I have skinned my own ground many times where it was uneven, maybe like your driveway.
Maybe the Chatlist can help you find someone nearby who can trim up your driveway weeds with the proper equipment.
