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.

I hate the lawn... period. If I had my complete say about it; I would dig
it all up and have a giant flower garden.

Michael - thinks grass is a parasitic nuisance


It's also the biggest cause of chemical pollution in this country now.
Farming's no longer at the top of the list. Chemical-heads will prefer not
to believe this, though.
