Why do we cut our grass?

[GermyBoy]

It makes no sense. It's going to grow more anyways. It seems like such a waste of natural resources, and especially water, when these idiots water it for like 18 hours straight. I get so annoyed at that. They could fill a swimming pool with that amount of grass.

I want to have my backyard and front yard completely paved, or strictly astroturf. That'd be the way to go.

 

[aphex]

What is this... Lawn care day at the forums or something?

 

[XZeroII]

That's the stupidest thing in the world. Who would want to pave their yard?

The whole world is out to piss you off GermyBoy. Perhaps you should join Jerboy in his quest to end it.

I'll just start posting in bold to get my points across.

If you're fed up with cutting your lawn, look into creating a meadow (yes, a meadow) with native wildflowers and grasses. Virtually no upkeep.

I've always wanted my own goat that eats grass all day. The neighbors have one, works out great.

Gay, maybe, but I've sure been thinking hard about it. Heard about it on the radio... then thought to myself how nice it would be to never mow the lawn... The largest obstacle (understandably) is that neighbors would get riled up, thinking that you weren't taking care of your lawn when, in fact, your yard was more environmentally sound blah blah...

Because if you don't the Home Owners Association will have it cut for you and send you the bill

Yea - definently not a good idea if you have one of those nazi warlords...errr...'neighborhood associations' that tells you what color your house has to be, to what kind of toilet paper you need to use.

 

[melly]

it's a mass conspiracy between the grass growers of america and john deere

oh, and rednecks don't cut their grass

jk

my mom redid most of our property in landscaping and interlock so that it would cut down the amount of grass we had.

 

[shiner]

So we can smoke it. Duh!

"It seems like such a waste of natural resources..."

Like putting spoilers, ground effects, neon lights, alloy wheels, LED lined exhaust tips and 2,000 watt sound systems on econoboxes?

Nobody hates mowing more than I do, but it's done for the sake of aesthetics just like your riced out econobox. It also helps the property value of your neighborhood. Something your noisy econobox DOESN'T do!

Some cities insist you cut the lawn, or they'll do it for you, and charge you to boot. Sometimes that gets challenged in court. The city claims it's for health reasons, to keep vermin away. That's a valid point, but I think they're more worried about property value. It's a matter of being considerate to the people around you, which is another thing noisy econobox drivers wouldn't understand...

 

[Kenazo]

Don't. Use the redneck lawnmower.......a match and a stiff wind.

 

[yakko]

That is why when I get my house I will have plants instead of grass.

 

[Kilban]

Why do we cut our hair? Its going to grow back anyways.

 

[Supermercado]

After all the times I've had to cut the grass for my dad in 100-degree weather, I've thought many times how nice it would be to have astroturf.

 

[Dhawk]

There was a house up the road from where I use to live growing up where the guy actually paved his front yard with asphalt and then painted it green to try and make it look like grass. It didn't. We were always amused and got a good laugh from it.

 

[eakers]

people obsessed with their lawns piss me off.
they waste water, put chemicals on it and then yell at me cuz my front lawn is covered in dandelions. you know what? I LIKE DANDELIONS!


*kat. <-- would rather have dirt for a lawn than put toxic chemicals on the earth.

 

[etalns]

Why do we cut our nails, they're going to grow back anyways.

so it doesnt look like this ewww

 

[Nefrodite]
