A lawn doesn’t have to look like a golf course.
Well, for me it’s about the appearance. The lawn should also look nice in summer.
Apparently, for the OP it already is. Beautiful is relative, of course, but here they’re probably talking about the nicely green optimum.
I talked to a few people in the neighborhood who water at least 3 times a week in the hot summer months if it doesn’t rain.
I’m surprised that some users here say you don’t need to water your lawn at all?
We’re among those: normal lawn, eventually in summer it burns. Why do we allow that? Because we’ve changed our mindset. Water resources must not be wasted on us stupid garden lovers, that’s something one learned over the years.
The lawn recovers again. And by now we’re even proud to just let the lawn be lawn and take care of more important things in summer than the hunt for the nice green lawn, which steals valuable lifetime.
I don’t think much of these snippets on natural areas. Maybe potted plants, raised beds, or similar can benefit from that, but to bury something in nature that doesn’t decompose – I’m against that. I have committed some sins myself, but the important thing is to eventually get the hang of it. We already swallow enough microplastics from the plastic that remains in nature.
But I don’t want to lecture anyone. Everyone has the right to learn from their mistakes.
Sometimes I wonder how far people can distance themselves from nature that in the year 2024 they want to fight so hard against nature for a certain garden look.
Basically, with his words Schorsch says exactly what it is.
