March on the high plains is mostly wind: tumbleweeds stacked three deep on the barbed wire, grit in the air, last year's leaves packed into every corner of the yard. Toot'n Totum opens the season by clearing all of that out — the spring cleanup, dead growth raked off, the lawn opened up so light and water reach the crowns again. Then the mowing starts and holds through the growing months, with edging along the walks and trimming around whatever the mower has to steer around. Clippings go into the truck rather than back into the grass. By the time the wind quits arguing in June, the yard is even, tight and ready for summer.
