news 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.


It's not a lot of time.


No point in wasting that on mowing the ****ing lawn.

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.


Can't you kill it all by burning it or something?


Nope, it doesnt burn.

You could use napalm but the local fire brigade got
all stroppy when I burnt the dead stuff off my big line
of trees. They'd go ballistic if I used napalm and I
doubt the neighbours would be too impressed either.
