Kenn WhiteToday I learned from @0xabad1dea that a lot of large solar farm owners use sheep herds to maintain their grass and they're called solarpunk grazers and life seems a little better. π€
π¬πππ―π πΌ@kennwhite @0xabad1dea I hope the parks are very large and the area for the sheep is probably managed. Sheep should not kept in the same place and need changing areas with different grass/herbs to stay healthier.
abadidea@stevE @kennwhite nobody needs their solar farm mowed every day, theyβre visiting sheep
@0xabad1dea @kennwhite this would be good.
Richard Barrell@0xabad1dea @stevE @kennwhite did you know you can also use geese as lawnmowers? β€οΈ They eat it down to a much shorter height than sheep, which may or may not be appropriate for any particular industrial application. I visited a donkey sanctuary near Cardiff when I was a child and they had a flock of geese that mowed the grass. β€οΈ
Fox Lee@0x2ba22e11 @0xabad1dea @stevE @kennwhite Apparently even better are wallabies. I don't know if wallabies share the kangaroo's inability to fart, but if so it's hard to imagine a better (or cuter) solarpunk lawnmower.
@TheArtGremblin @0xabad1dea @stevE @kennwhite "kangaroos can't fart" sounds like something you'd tell gullible tourists in order to cause an incident that would be hilarious to you but inconvenient for the tourist. π
