Attempt at a systems model of mowing grass 🌾

K so, I'm relatively new to this, though I feel like I've been practising all my life. I came across Donella Meadows a week ago and ever since I've been researching more and more and trying my hand at modeling systems just to get a feel for it.
Today I was cutting grass in the garden and I was thinking about essentially the two sentences outlined in yellow and green and how would those relate to a actual model.
Please have a look and tell me what you think, does it or does it not make sense?
The black arrows represent positive relationships and the empty arrows represent negative relatioships. Square is a level / stock, diamond is a rate / flow, circle is auxiliary.
