I just bought a house here in Virginia in October. I have turned my lawn from non-existant to a semi-weedy, mostly green, multi-level carpet since then. It is a royal pain in the rear. I refure to mow more than once a week and have yet to acquire all the gear needed to do the trimming, etc. That will come when I sell my car and have the cash to do it. This was much easier when I lived in Killeen, TX (farther SW than Sazerac) where it did hit 115 with fair regularity in July and August. Monthly mowing was nice.



I think all the lawn competitions are the result of neighborhood plants (neighbors) by corporations like Toro and John Deere. These people get paid to live in each neighborhood and use the biggest and best equipment made by their employer. Thus making their neighbors feel compelled to go out and buy similar products.

My personal little conspiracy theory.
