The borough charged me a fine for letting my grass get too long and warned that the next time the borough had to mow it, the fine would double. When I lived in another part of Pennsylvania, I remember coming home one evening to a freshly mown lawn, and a citation stuck on my door. Why do we do this to ourselves? Unfortunately, though, many of us simply don’t have that option. Plus, you would get that one, two, or three hours back that it takes to mow your lawn each week. And with skyrocketing gas prices, not feeding the lawn mower looks better every day. Some people do and are rewarded by the scads of wildflowers, birds, bees and butterflies that pop up. Of course, you could let nature take its course, stop mowing altogether and return your lawn to the wild.
Have you ever stopped to think if there might be a better way, an easier way? They impose bans on washing cars and using sprinklers, making it even harder to maintain a green lawn. Municipalities all over the country ration water during the summer. It’s no surprise then that your lawn is more often scorched grass than a soft, green yard.Īlong with these soaring temperatures, we’re experiencing longer stretches without rain. Summer temperatures are increasing for longer periods with each passing year. Where once you walked barefoot on dewy grass, you’re now careful to put your shoes on before venturing outside. No matter how much new seed you put down or how often you water, there will come a point where your lush green lawn turns into a crunchy brown landscape.
