To winterize or
not to winterize lawn


"Winterize your lawn", the big sign outside the garden store commanded.
I've fed it, watered it, mowed it, raked it and watched a lot of it die
away. Now I'm supposed to winterize it? I hope it's too late. Grass lawns
have to be the stupidest thing we've come up with outside of a thong
swimsuits! We constantly battle dandelions, Queen's lace, thistle,
violets, chicory and clover that thrive naturally, so we can grow grass
that must be nursed through an annual four-step chemical dependency.



I hate changing the lawn's oil every autumn.
