The grass in my yard has been growing slower and slower lately. In fact, I am beginning to see a few patches where the grass actually looks dead. I consider this increasing potential for a yard full of dead grass to be fantastic news.
Why would I be so glad to see the grass in my yard dying? That's easy, I hate mowing it and I also hate paying somebody else to mow it. With the grass thoroughly stunted by the growing summer heat, it's growth rate has dropped a lot and a yard full of dead grass will grow even less. Not at all in fact.
Because of this not only do I not have to mow it, it will also be a longer time before I have to pay somebody else to mow it.
Personally, given the resources, I'd just as soon pave the yard and paint it green. That way it would have the green look that people expect while being so much more maintenance free.
One of these days when I'm filthy rich I'm going to do that. In the meanwhile I'll happily settle for a yard full of dead grass.
