Is your neighbourhood ...

[RomSpaceKnight]

Noticed the H.A. member's house is up for sale. That's a big plus.

My next door neighbour has the most beautiful manicured lawn on the street. Between me taking possession of my house and actually moving in was a couple of months. During that time the dandelions took over my whole back yard and most of the front. Was able to keep up with front lawn by weeding by hand but not get ahead. The back was a total loss. So I broke down and had Weedman come in for a course of herbicides and stuff. Felt real guilty watching birds hunting for bugs in my newly sprayed lawn. Weedman did an awesome job, not a dandelion in sight by years end. But my greenside says never again. A touch of weed and feed but no more than that.

I have my lawnmower set as high as it will go. I've never watered my lawn. If I had a well system maybe but not if I got to pay for it. Plus the waste of a natural resource for purely cosmetic reasons, ick.

 

[I think not]

Not really. I actually enjoy having a nice looking lawn. I just dislike the time it takes to make it that way.

Pour concrete and paint in green. :wave:

I'll have mine on high so I don't mulch the sprinkler heads.

Is that a New York trick?

Just get bigger dogs. :grommit:

 

[westmanguy]

Well I have little bicon frise puppy, and they have rockwilers and big dogs.

As a small dog owner I dislike vicious dogs. I have called the cops on my redneck neighbours on multiple accounts. They skidoo down the road, light fire works up late at night. The have these go-cart going crazy down the road in the summer.

Bunch a crazy people.

Psh, if you've never had to call the cops because your neighbors hitched their homemade cannon to their goat, had him tow it up the hill, and were firing bunker busters into the river banks, then you DO NOT have redneck neighbors.

I don't recall ever towing my homemade cannon with a goat.

The nearest lawn in my niegbourhood is seven or eight kilometers away, it's reasonably flat and reasonably green, in season. I like the bushes at my place, the critters can get right up to the house before I spring out and grab them. I used to have a big lawn and a lawn mower, I noticed one day that after I mowed, it was reasonably flat and reasonably green, and totally boring and featurless, so I let the wild stuff grow up for a while and just cut paths through it with the mower, the kids liked it that way and so did I.:wave:

Thanks for the translation. lol.

Well then I've probably never phoned the cops on you. Probably.

Oh, another fun cannon trick. Use it to fire a flaming rag into a twenty foot tall bonfire laced with fireworks. Great fun. But, if you're going to do that, have the common sense to not use plastic coated wire to tie the fireworks in place, because once the casing melts, the fireworks can then lean in all sorts of different directions, sending all of the party goers at your shindig running for their lives. Oh, and don't bring horses to the party if you decide to do this either, even if it IS halloween and you want to make a grand entrance as a native cheif. Chaos is inevitable.

For lawn watering we have two large barrels we drilled holes at the bottom side of each inserted a hose attachment(washer) attache hose to water garden and lawn thats how we water the lawns --works great

 

[Kreskin]

It's going in today! I feel like a kid at the candy store.

 

[karrie]

Congrats Kreskin! It must suck to see the lawn all scarred up though hey? lol.
