Water is one of those resources that we can't afford to waste AT ALL, and yet people still don't get it...
Britain is behind the Manicured Lawn campaign and thinks that everyone should have acres and acres of grass to water every day...
It's a stupid idea and shows a lack of creativity and ingenuity and leaves little for the imagination which results in stupidity...
If we aren't thinking of better ways to improve our surroundings our minds aren't working which doesn't do anything for our intellect and leaves too much time to complain about non-sensible topics...
It's okay to have a little patch of grass mixed in with a Zero Scape landscape, or a home garden...
Plus the way people water their lawns is incorrect, they think by sticking a sprinkler system in and timing it is the best method to use, but it's not at any time of the day...
Water evaporates on hot surfaces so by the time it gets to the drain most of the water has been lost...
Plus, we love the lawns that are outside of most homes that take 5 minutes to mow...
They buy this 300 dollar mower to mow a little patch of grass that accounts for nothing and adds to the carbon footprint or if electric just adds to your electric bill and accomplishes nothing...
Plus they've gotten so lazy that they don't even attach the bag to the mower which ends up spreading whatever weed seed they have on to other lawns, like the dandelion...
sidenote: Want to stop dandelions from spreading, stop spreading the seed and attach the bag...
Water is so precious and Oil companies are the biggest contributors to the waste and destruction of this supply...
Corn based fuel is HUGE waste, it takes 10 times the amount of water to create one barrel of fuel, compared to just using oil from the ground...
However, most people know this and that is why we are going to Electric automobiles and when they make a cooler car at a lower price people will begin to trade in their carbon machines...
Anyway, back to lawns...
Get rid of your Lawn, it's a waste of resources, but if you're too stubborn and ignorant lazy or a combination of all, at least learn how to water your lawn correctly...
A Lawn Irrigation system is the best way to water your lawn using a submersion or underground technique to get to the root of the lawn which prevents evaporation...
An underground irrigation system can be setup on a timer so you can have the luxuries you are accustomed to without the barbaric way of lawn watering...
"Some types of grasses do not need to be irrigated year-round. For instance, warm-season grasses go dormant during the cool winter months. During this time, irrigation is not only not necessary, irrigating when a turf is dormant can cause it to rot, or allow weed seeds to germinate. Proper lawn irrigation techniques go a long way toward maintaining a healthy lawn. Be sure to tailor your lawn irrigation plan to the specific type of turfgrass in your yard for best results."
We only have one earth and maybe there are other planets out there that they aren't telling us about, but you can rest assured that even if they do tell us about another planet, they won't be taking us...and that's a fact!
