Nature strip is used in NSW.
Speaking of mowers growing legs, I once had to dispose of about 20 machines I had amassed because my father was worried the landlord would have an issue upon the next inspection and I knew I wouldn't get around to bring them back to life.
The same day, a man in a ute gathered them all up and said a mechanics school has a use for them.
Of course, I would later lament some bits I ended up needing from some of them, but that man probably saved me a lot of grief in disposal costs down the track when we did eventually have to move out due to end of tenancy notice.
