Neighbor doesn't...

 

[nakedfrog]

I don't either. I'd rather spend that time doing... well, pretty much anything.

report him to the HOA

Your neighbor is more eco-friendly than you.

I waste as little time as possible on the grass. I cut it once a ~week with blades about as sharp as rebar, and that's already about 1.5 hours too much. I may change the grass species. I'm thinking bamboo...

Photoshop! No way grass can be that green.

 

[DietDrThunder]

That isn't green grass. That is a yard full of weeds, which are quite green this time of year.

I enjoy mowing and yard work in general. Its not my favorite thing, but it's peaceful and relaxing.

No hoa thank goodness. We all just tend to get along.

I'd say it ranks somewhere below doing laundry or vacuuming for me.

What you put down matters a lot. Even winterizer in Oct. I got lazy the last 2 falls and didn't put any down. All my neighbors use landscapers and their grass was greenish throughout winter while mine was brown. It is coming back alive now, but there's a huge difference.

Fertilizer also goes a long way in greening of course. I put it down at the same time as the crabgrass control which should be right around now. But I have a lot of unwanted onion grass which is a nightmare.

I don't know how your neighbor would have green grass without using sprinklers though.

IOW, you shit on your lawn and pee on it?

 

[KMFJD]

The perfect lawn

Yikes, no.. no place to throw a football or play catch

Front lawns are pointless and a waste of time/water.

I hate lawns. No matter how much care i put in it ends up getting torn up by deer in the back yard, the dog pisses all over it and creates burn spots. and weeds just keep coming back.

Put lime on the urine burned areas.

I'm fine with taking care of a lawn I use. But what do you do with a front lawn? I had one for years and all it did was waste my time so it didn't look crappy.

There's this couple who walks their dog every morning on the sidewalk in front of my house. No issues with that. The problem is, that dog pees in the same spot every time and it has burned the grass.

Last night I adjusted the sprinkler time on that zone to spray for 18 minutes at the time that dog normally comes through. Hopefully they will keep their schedule and just detour out into the street as my sprinkler setup douses the sidewalk.

And everytime it rains the runoff from your grass goes in the local streams.

So much more free time to head down to the park and throw the ol' pigskin there though

I fertilize with a hose.

That's a $250 fine here for first offense and $500 per offense thereafter.

I don't like it, but I don't dislike it enough to put different sprinkler heads in as it would require me to also dig trenches and add more sprinkler heads due to how they are placed. These spray water from the curb about 20 feet in to my lawn and everything in between which happens to be the sidewalk as well.

Like you could do much of either on your little postage stamp piece of obsessively curated fake nature.

And your title -- I fertilize and use my sprinklers -- just sounds so dirty!
