Agreed. My landscape gardener told me many moons ago that grass
likes
being cut, but weeds don't. I just mow regularly and they
eventually
disappear.

Dandelions just grow close to the ground instead.

Not here they didnt. Those who mowed them and those who
didnt bother all got the same result none of them in a few weeks.

Eh? They vanished from doing nothing?

Yeah, they are seasonal after all.

Doesn't bother me what grows on my lawn.

I'd rather mine hadn't been invaded by kikuyu which
is essentially african jungle pretending to be grass.

Oh, I thought you planted that on purpose.

Nar, I planted the entire back lawn with a very fine runner grass that
a mate of mine, the gardener at work, had a big patch of at work.

Didnt survive the kikuyu from the neighours tho. That stuff will
take over everything, by far the most aggressive grass around.

I wasnt joking when I said its African jungle pretending to be grass.

Couldn't you have had a gap between your lawns with some salt or
weedkiller?

Doesnt stop kikuyu.

It's a soft flat green area. Moss, clover, grass, whatever.

You've clearly never tried kikuyu or buffalo.

I looked at a photo of Kikuyu and it looks fine to me.

Its fine if you dont mind having to mow it twice a week in summer.

**** that for a joke.

Mowing is easy, the motor does all the work.

Plenty better things to do with my time.

Just wider blades than I have here.

And runners that can be as thick as your little finger.

Only if you let it grow that much.

Wrong, it has those even if you mow it twice a week.

And why does it grow well in your desert of a country?

Because its african jungle pretending to be grass.

Thats actually an advantage if you want to get rid of it
to grow tomatoes etc, but it grows back at one hell of a rate.

Eh?

You can grab the runners and rip out 6-10'
of it in one go its to thick and rugged.
