What kind of chicken-shit coward are you?

Why are you afraid of google archiving your posts?

ROFL No fear here. Google could care less about the archive, dumbass. Don't
believe me? Look at the changes they've made to their search abilities.
Google stopped caring about the archive, and it's accessability when they
came out with Google Groups. **** Google. They're about revenue, not the
archive.

What do my headers have to do with the topic at hand, anyway. Oh, that's
right, you can't find anything to back up your claims, so you type anything
that comes to mind.

No, dumbass. They obviously claimed that what they quoted was the
worst lawn advice they'd ever seen. They were correct. Please try
and keep up.

Why don't you let Bob F respond, instead of putting words in his mouth..

If he hasn't put you in the bozo-bin (where you really belong), he'll most
likely reply.

Actually, I said my piece, and you are doing just fine. Thanks for the backup.- Hide quoted text -

LOL I was wondering when Eggs was gonna let loose on the guy.
We're all in agreement that Lawn Guy's goes in contradiction of
virtually all the credible authorities on turf management.

And some of his logic is quite amazing. He claims that the idea that
mulching clippings and leaving them on the lawn is all propaganda
being generated by municipalities that just want to reduce their
landfill reqts. Asked by Eggs to back that up, his answer:

"Practically all internet searches on the topic of grass cutting will
return content claiming that by not bagging your grass, that you're
reducing the amount of material going to landfill. "


Now following that logic, I could do a google search on the planets of
the solar system and find that practically all the search results say
the earth revolves around the sun, so that therefore qualifies as
propaganda too.

And then he likes to refute claims that were never made. Like saying
that clippings can't provide 100% or most of the fertilizer
requirements of a lawn. No one in this thread ever claimed that.
However, even he acknowledges that they can provide up to 25%. So,
which is better, saves money and is more environmentally sound? To
buy that extra fertilizer or use less? Many communities have
waterways that are being impacted by excess nitrogen, a lot of it from
run off from lawns. It's a major problem here in Barnegat Bay in NJ,
where the ecosystem is changing because of excess nitrogen. It
would seem using less is a good idea. But to this guy, we're just
lazy.

And along the way he makes other bogus claims that are totally false.
Like claiming that grass clippings are high in carbon. Actually, as
far as compost material, they are low in carbon. The paper bags that
folks use to put the leaves in have an order of magnitude more
carbon. And maybe I missed something, but who the hell cares
anyway? The clippings either decompose on the lawn or at some compose
facility and the same amount of CO2 is released.

And now he claims that most clippings don't stay on the lawn but wind
up blown off into the street?

Unbelievable, but it sure shows he has no real experience.

But like I said, and I think you guys would agree, I don't care what
he does with his lawn. I just take offense when some dumb ass starts
calling the rest of us lazy because we choose what are widely
recognized by credible turf pros as sound practices that are good for
the turf, good for the environment, and less work.
