When I first start mowing lawns at age 10, I left patches in the lawn too. My father had to show me the technique of lawn-mowing involved moving part of the lawnmower over part of the lawn you had already mowed so that you would not leave patches. You don’t just line up the wheels with the uncut part of the grass. It seems obvious to me now, but not when I was 10.
If I had not had someone show me how to do it, I might have eventually worked it out; but I don’t know why Elly Patterson thinks Michael is going to learn the proper mowing techniques without anyone taking the time to teach him.
