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

disappear.
I believe it is an evolution thing. Grass grows
from
the
bottom,
which
is why they survive grazing herbivores better than
broad-leaf
plants,
which grow from the top.
That doesn't mean grass *likes* being cut.
Grass evolved to be cut by grazing animals.
It evolved to tolerate grazing.
So mowing is normal.
Well, "natural", as in similar to the natural state.
As there is no animals ****ting, it has to be
fertilized
instead.
Because it loses leaf matter to the mower.
Exactly. if you don't fertiize, all you get growing is
deep
rooted
weeds.
Even more pig ignorant than you usually manage.
The park next to my house has NEVER been fertilised in
the
50 years its been there. Its mowed every couple of weeks
or
so in the summer and less often in the winter with a
****ing
great tractor mounted mower that is about twice the size
of my car with the cuttings left where they fall.
It is normal grass, nothing even remotely like deep
rooted
weeds.
My backyard has kikuyu that is about a foot deep and it
has
never
ever been fertilized in 50 years either and there are
sweet
****
all
deep rooted weeds there either.
I presume harry as referring to grass which is mown and
the
cuttings
taken
away, making the ground more suitable for weeds than
grass.
He'd be wrong about that too. Even when the cuttings
are removed, you still don't need to fertilise it.
Mind you, I mow my lawn and leave the cuttings on it, and
it's
full
of
weeds. It's probably more to do with sunlight, water, and
surrounding
trees taking nutrients away.
Nope. You don't mow it enough. Mow it enough and the weeds
don't
last
long.
They cant survive having their heads chopped off. Grass
doesn't
care.
My back lawn has trees dotted around it. The grass won't
grow
AT
ALL
under the trees, but weeds do.
The park next to my house has quite a few trees and grass
growing
right
up
to the trunk of all of them.
You've got feeble old world genetically ****ed grass.
More likely **** weather.
Kikuyu will grow fine there.
Then why doesn't it?
You lot prefer a less coarse grass.
Is it soft enough to walk on in bare feet?
Yes, but then so is bare dirt and concrete. Plenty prefer a less
coarse
grass.
Fusspots. I think the next time I need to buy grass seed I'll try
Kikuyu.
Kikuyu isnt a seed grass.
It must make seeds surely.
Nope, it's a runner grass.
What's this then? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151551068630
Fake kikuyu. There are no seed heads on any of my kikuyu.
It would never survive if it couldn't seed.
Wrong. It's a runner grass.
That could never work.
It does anyway.
How would it get from West to East Australia?
You put the runners in a vehicle.
It couldn't spread across long distances.
Its not a naturally occurring grass.
We invented it?
Bred it. Just like we did wheat, that's
not a naturally occurring grass either.
If only to **** of my neighbours :-)
It'll **** you off too.
I don't mind mowing,
Yes, you are that stupid.
It's a quick easy enjoyable task.
Only for stupids who don't have much better things to do.
Do you detest hoovering too?
Yep.
Loading the dishwasher?
Nope, when I take stuff back to the kitchen after
eating off it, it has to go somewhere. Just as easy
to put it straight in the dishwasher which is left
open as putting it anywhere else. Then once there
arent any clean plates left, put a pellet in the little
thing where it goes, close the door turn it on.
