Hi folks
A local political party has asked if I could help organise the painting
of their logo on a field owned by one of their members. We looked into
sports field paint, but it would cost too much. Does anyone have an idea
how to paint a logo on the grass (or just change the it's colour)?
Obviously we wouldn't want to kill the grass and wouldn't want to get
into bother with the environmental agencies. The logo would only have to
last until the 3rd May (election day).
cheers
stephen

Whitewash? Then hose it down. Or powdered chalk if it's not windy!

Very appropriate for a political party :-)

You can buy marking sprays from builders' merchants. They use them in
outlining the foundations for new buildings.

Yes but you have to spin it first. ;-)

I thought only machine and huge spray was available but you can find
spray, like graffiti artists use. Wicked ;o)

You could be more green! Try using a differential mowing technique, think crops circles but on a smaller scale.

And then, what a tangled web they weave! But, to be even more serious,
I'm not at all sure this doesn't come under the heading of vandalism.
There are far too many illegal advertisements disfiguring roadsides
already (with neither Highways Agency, Local Authorities, CPRE or RoSPA
taking any notice), so I don't _think_ I'm being a spoilsport in saying
"If you want my vote, don't".
