The monsoon rains make the grass grow. It can take days to cut a patch. In this picture is the largest stretch of flat space on the entire compound. So, even if someone had a lawnmower, it’s not as if it could be easily applied to the other 98% of the compound. But I think the method is maybe not so great for avoiding the leeches which stand on their tails and wait with gaping mouths for anything to pass by. Because they inject anesthetic first, you usually do not know unless you look or until they are finished and the blood just flows (from blood thinner) after they’ve gorged themselves. Pretty disgusting. Someone told me that tobacco juice wards them off, but since I do not spit…I keep to the clear areas as much as possible.
