Is there a more environmentally unfriendly garden plant than lawn grass? Jeff It doesn't have to be so. Frequent mowing, not too short, other species especially clover encouraged. Never fed, sprayed or watered - it won't die. Then it's quite good for wildlife, a decent green backdrop for more interesting stuff. Rod. I do think there's a psychological aspect perhaps? While we all enjoy going abroad and seeing paved terraces and seating areas outside cafés etc., there's something very soothing and restful about a stretch of grass! And is there a better sound than that of *someone else* cutting it! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
