re: Out of town for 10 days - Should I cut my grass lower than usual?

pay a neighborhood teenager to cut it a couple times.

problem solved and you won't screw up your lawn.

just tell them what number to set their mower on before they do it. it wont be perfect but better than coming home to 12" blades of grass.

I always let them use my mower when I got them to do that. Our old neighbors, back before they moved, their teenage son would let himself in the garage and use my mower then put it back. Seemed like he helped himself to a few cold ones from the basement fridge as well, in addition to what I paid him, but the yard looked good when I got home.
