Akin to the difference between a buzz-cut no-scissor barber and a hair
salon, methinks. My yard is more the former, most of my neighbors the
latter. I only get out the string trimmer when the mailbox disappears.
My neighbors pretend not to care, but I can tell they look down their
noses at me. As long as it covers the dirt, I'm happy. About 5 different
shades of green and shapes of grass blades in my front yard, from the
annual patch kit applications to cover the bare spots caused by moles
and the idiot plow driver thinking the low spot in my front yard is a
dandy place to push snow off, seeing as how I am halfway up a straight
stretch. I keep meaning to buy a couple driveway boulders, but the
delivery charge around here is more than the cost of the rocks.

I'll edge the lawn with a vengeance once or twice a season. But I'm fishing
for a different answer, and I'm pretty good at knowing what kinds of fish
are swimming under the boat. Stand by.

===================


If you need weed control, bug control, and watering, you're growing the
wrong thing in your yard. That's true of the vast majority of lawns in this
country. It's a tradition which has no place in the growing environment for
most of the country. Thank the original colonists for this mistake. They
wanted their homes to look like what they left behind in England.

uhm no not an informercial
foag what that means
jesus christ i didnt know everyone would get so ****ing - ****ed -
**** you - attitude towards a post about lawn care.

do you see on the site any adsense, pay per click advertisements,
banners, ect. ect.

uhm no in one place the search area which is a google search that has
adsense, ****, why not
im more concerned about inbound links, moz rank, ect.

and actually it would probably help the person that wrote the article
out more than me,
because.. here is something you probably didnt learn from the
'infomercial'.

the more inbound links that your site has, the better the website
overall grade. search engines will think it is more ligit with a
higher index of the pages and higher inbound links detected, if it is
linked from all over the place it must not be spam

now take your ****ed of eyes and scroll back up the page.
in my first pirst, i said i would give your name and a link to your
website
so wouldnt that in return help you ?

its a local buisiness, i have clients, i would like to increase the
websites internet appearence.



so. yeah thats all.

===============

I don't know about banned, but if you live in a part of the country where
there are water shortages from time to time and your lawn suffers badly
because you can't water it, then it's clearly the wrong thing to grow. As
far as fertilizer & bug/weed chemicals, I'll try and find an interesting
article for you from about 10 years ago, which explains that homeowners are
the primary water polluters. "We" bypassed industry many years ago. And for
what? To make sure we don't see dandelions? Absurd.

OK, it's that time again.

God and Grass!

GOD:
Frank, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going
on down there on that planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets,
thistle and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance
garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought
and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms
attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to
see a vast garden of colors by now. But, all I see are these green
rectangles.

ST. FRANCIS:
It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started
calling your flowers "weeds" and went to great lengths to kill them and
replace them with grass.

GOD :
Grass? But, it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract
butterflies and birds and bees. It attracts grubs and sod worms, and
it's sensitive to temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all
that grass growing there?

ST. FRANCIS :
Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it
green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any
other plant that crops up in the lawn.

GOD:
The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast.
That must make the Suburbanites happy.

ST. FRANCIS :
Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it --
sometimes twice a week.

GOD :
They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?

ST. FRANCIS:
Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.

GOD:
They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?

ST. FRANCIS :
No, Sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.

GOD :
Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass, so it will grow.
And, when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?

ST. FRANCIS :
Yes, Sir.

GOD :
These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on
the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves
them a lot of work.

ST. FRANCIS:
You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so
fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it, so they can
continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.

GOD:
What nonsense! At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer
stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the
spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they
fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the
soil and protect the trees and bushes.. It's a natural cycle of life.

ST. FRANCIS :
You better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As
soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have
them hauled away.

GOD :
No! What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter?
How do they keep the soil moist and loose?

ST. FRANCIS :
After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they
call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.

GOD:
And where do they get this mulch?

ST. FRANCIS :
They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.

GOD :
Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore.
St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you
scheduled for us tonight?

ST. CATHERINE:
"Dumb and Dumber," Lord. It's a story about . . .

GOD:
Never mind! I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis.

sometimes twice a week.

GOD :
They cut it? Do they then bale it like hay?

ST. FRANCIS:
Not exactly, Lord. Most of them rake it up and put it in bags.

GOD:
They bag it? Why? Is it a cash crop? Do they sell it?

ST. FRANCIS :
No, Sir, just the opposite. They pay to throw it away.

GOD :
Now, let me get this straight. They fertilize grass, so it will grow.
And, when it does grow, they cut it off and pay to throw it away?

ST. FRANCIS :
Yes, Sir.

GOD :
These Suburbanites must be relieved in the summer when we cut back on
the rain and turn up the heat. That surely slows the growth and saves
them a lot of work.

ST. FRANCIS:
You aren't going to believe this, Lord. When the grass stops growing so
fast, they drag out hoses and pay more money to water it, so they can
continue to mow it and pay to get rid of it.

GOD:
What nonsense! At least they kept some of the trees. That was a sheer
stroke of genius, if I do say so myself. The trees grow leaves in the
spring to provide beauty and shade in the summer. In the autumn, they
fall to the ground and form a natural blanket to keep moisture in the
soil and protect the trees and bushes.. It's a natural cycle of life.

ST. FRANCIS :
You better sit down, Lord. The Suburbanites have drawn a new circle. As
soon as the leaves fall, they rake them into great piles and pay to have
them hauled away.

GOD :
No! What do they do to protect the shrub and tree roots in the winter?
How do they keep the soil moist and loose?

ST. FRANCIS :
After throwing away the leaves, they go out and buy something which they
call mulch. They haul it home and spread it around in place of the leaves.

GOD:
And where do they get this mulch?

ST. FRANCIS :
They cut down trees and grind them up to make the mulch.

GOD :
Enough! I don't want to think about this anymore.
St. Catherine, you're in charge of the arts. What movie have you
scheduled for us tonight?

ST. CATHERINE:
"Dumb and Dumber," Lord. It's a story about . . .

GOD:
Never mind! I think I just heard the whole story from St. Francis.

Thank You!

Here is a story for your website. *Sorry I don't know who the author is..

God and Grass!

GOD:
Frank, you know all about gardens and nature. What in the world is going
on down there on that planet? What happened to the dandelions, violets,
thistle and stuff I started eons ago? I had a perfect no-maintenance
garden plan. Those plants grow in any type of soil, withstand drought
and multiply with abandon. The nectar from the long-lasting blossoms
attracts butterflies, honey bees and flocks of songbirds. I expected to
see a vast garden of colors by now. But, all I see are these green
rectangles.

ST. FRANCIS:
It's the tribes that settled there, Lord. The Suburbanites. They started
calling your flowers "weeds" and went to great lengths to kill them and
replace them with grass.

GOD :
Grass? But, it's so boring. It's not colorful. It doesn't attract
butterflies and birds and bees. It attracts grubs and sod worms, and
it's sensitive to temperatures. Do these Suburbanites really want all
that grass growing there?

ST. FRANCIS :
Apparently so, Lord. They go to great pains to grow it and keep it
green. They begin each spring by fertilizing grass and poisoning any
other plant that crops up in the lawn.

GOD:
The spring rains and warm weather probably make grass grow really fast.
That must make the Suburbanites happy.

ST. FRANCIS :
Apparently not, Lord. As soon as it grows a little, they cut it --
sometimes twice a week.

GOD :

ST. FRANCIS:
