In many circles the needs of turf are being seriously questioned as a waste of time, energy and money.
The earth if paying the price of pollution with oil, gas and smoke, fertilizer, herbicides, fungicides, in addition of noise. Where do you think all these substances land? They do not disappear misteriously, they go to our water sources. The ecology and biodiversity are affected with the turf infatuation all over the world.
Unless the turf is cut with a push mower, goat, sheep or whatever, turf lovers, golf players are destroying
our earth for nothing!
It's certainly a valid question, whether a lawn is worth the effort it takes to sustain it. It's not too hard to grow grass in my climate, but many places need to irrigate to have 'decent' grass. I'd venture to say that the effort is what led to the development of the 'lawn' as a luxury, accessory to a wealthy person's property, and now seen as standard dress for Suburbia.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
