Hi Judy
A rather slow response I guess, but I enjoyed this a lot. Shows how
crazy some conventions of formal gardening have become doesn't it?
I think though God might however approve of my ecolawn which, as well as
looking pretty with wild flowers at times, also provides some extremely
valuable mulch for my vegetable beds, is fed with compost and is
certainly never ever cut more than once a week even when growing at its
fastest. (and because a high cut allows deep roots it doesn't require
watering either)
Fortunately, though I live in the suburbs in NZ I can grow what I like
even in the front garden and I do not know of any effort of neighbours
in this country to regulate how one grows one's lawn as seems to
sometimes happen in the States.
Thanks for a good laugh
Moira
