The grass is greener over here!
Reduce your carbon footprint, grow your grass!
The grass is always greener on the other side, or maybe it’s greener on my side. I recently thought of a way to reduce my carbon footprint and get extra seed for my lawn … naturally. It was a eureka moment. Let the grass grow long enough to produce seed. It not only gets well established but it chokes out weeds. I didn’t expect that. I suppose it also allows for creatures to move freely and encourages my yard nemesis, poison ivy, but overall it was worth it. With the money and gas saved from mowing, I believe I have reduced my carbon footprint a tad. Ya, ok, it’s time I fess up, this wasn’t a planned event at all. I simply wasn’t able to mow for two weeks because of rainy weather, then we had to wait a few more weeks because the landscaper’s schedule was backed up. But hey, the lawn looked really great, so maybe I’ll do it again in the future. Give it a try!
