[quote=Anonymous]We are at the end of a culdesac with a woodsy area behind us in which lives turkey, deer, opossums, groundhogs, rabbits, turtles, and many types of birds and other small mammals.

Our lawn has been allowed to go natural for more than a quarter century now - there is some grass but it is mostly a variety of weedy plants and clover and mossy patches under the trees. We mow it every other week during growing season to keep it manageable although we do no mow May.

Our neighbor just redid his lawn this summer, it is a perfect uniform green of a weird shade - almost a bright algae green color. He spends hours and hours spraying it with various things and mowing it to within an inch of its life.

But I use the word ‘life’ generously because his lawn is sterile. Nobody goes on his lawn. Our lawn will be covered with robins and other ground feeding birds, and groundhogs, rabbits, deer, etc. but his lawn just feet away - NOBODY lands on his lawn. There is nothing but sterile neon green monocultured grass and beyond that, death. No bugs, no seeds, no other life.

I just don’t see the perspective of people who think *that* is more attractive than an abundance of life and woodland creatures.[/quote]
