Agreed. My landscape gardener told me many moons ago that grass

I believe it is an evolution thing. Grass grows from the bottom,

which grow from the top.

That doesn't mean grass *likes* being cut.

Grass evolved to be cut by grazing animals.
So mowing is normal.

As there is no animals ****ting, it has to be fertilized instead.

Pigs arse it does. The park next to my place has NEVER been fertilized in
50
years.

Neither has my grass and mine isnt even mowed.

Indeed - mainly plants just need water and CO2.

Yep, my trees have never had anything else.

The biggest ones are immense now.

Hydroponics or something only uses water and CO2 I believe. I've bought parts from hydroponics suppliers for other uses.
