[quote=Anonymous] I just talked to my husband about this and he knows more than I do for sure. He mentioned that the worst are the kinds of lawns that use chemicals on them and also do not keep the lawn clippings there to rot both of which produce richer soil. There are fewer insects and worms to enrich the soil as well (basically the ecosystem is totally disrupted). Lawns where chemicals are not used have grass and yes, weeds, with much longer root systems. He mentioned that a lawn that is chemically treated has grass with maybe one inch roots, but untreated you can get grass with 10 inch roots. Obviously this will soak up much more water in a rain. Another thing we do is to cut the lawn, but not too short. A lot of people cut their grass too short. [/quote]
