something you said here caught my eye,
"not thinking beyond their own yard"
it's a sad sad truth concerning the self centered need
for satisfying ones own desires.

today in america peoples desire for the lush thick mono
turf type green lawn has produced an environmental hazard
just beginning to unfold and tell it's story. current trends
have the 100' by 100' lawn receiving more herbicides, insecticides
and chemical fertilizers than the typical farmer applies to an
acre of land. further contributing to the unfolding disaster
in the making is how neighborhood lawns are totally unregulated
with regard towards runoff which sends these chemicals directly
into the water supply.

"not thinking beyond their own yard"

here in central NC we are experiencing one heck of an on
going drought. water restrictions have been in place now
for several months and just recently tighter restrictions
went into place allowing for lawns to be watered only one
day a week.

an article appearing in today's N&O presented an excellent
exemplification of peoples selfish stupidity when it comes
to "not thinking beyond their own yard".
http://www.newsobserver.com/weather/...ry/695176.html

ok, stepping down from my portable soapbox for a moment lets
give consideration to the aspects of having a nice lawn while
thinking beyond our own yard. first consideration should be
for shared resources such as water. when a drought such as
the one we are experiencing here in NC severely limits the
amount of water available to the local population, priorities
of importance need to be established. a simple question should
be put forth and that is, how long can you the human continue
without water to sustain your body? which is really more
important, water to drink or water to irrigate a lawn?

I full well realize I'm only a simple country boy, semiliterate,
uneducated and therefore hardly qualified to render an answer to
the above stated question concerning the important uses of water
when it's availability is severely limited. but do consider this,
after you've died from dehydration will you be able to visually
appreciate the lust green well irrigated lawn? duh!

the vast majority of lawn owners are totally unaware of the organic
alternatives available today. they instead waddle into the local
big box store and being the quadruple chin porker beast they are
see grub control product and make the purchase without ever reading
the label or seeing the words Merit or Dylox. even worse is how
they'll apply the product without reading the application
instructions contained on the product labeling. how many times in
this very forum have we seen the question, "how much should I
apply" followed by Eggs saying "did you read the label?" and to
further exemplify the disaster in the making we're expecting a
population of quadruple chin porker beast creatures who can't even
feed themselves a correct portion to figure out how to apply 2.5
pounds of product evenly over 100 square feet of lawn! get real, it
just ain't going to happen...

(long boring part sniped)

To stay on topic, I give one tenant a $50.00 discount to mow the lawn, guess
who has to do it half the time anyway.
ya me, and its usually 8 inches deep too.
When he does mow he bags it then dumps the bag wherever it fills up,
causing all kinds of dead spots.

Not a side deal, the agreement is in the lease. No pets in the lease too,
but I just found out he has had a dog for a week, he gets a 15 day notice of
termination this week.
and no I'm not new at renting apartments, been doing it since 1992, but for
some silly reason I keep thinking people will keep their word. (sigh)

i thought they had to have 60 days or is that a state-by-state thing?

I have to give a 15 day notice then a 30 day notice, but it does not matter,
he called and told me he can't deal with all the pressure and is going to be
out by the end of the month.
