Your lawn is continually making topsoil by developing, dying off, decomposing, and redeveloping. By leaving clippings on the lawn and allowing them to decay naturally (called grasscycling), you return to the lawn a significant amount of nutrients that help it to grow. Sounds to like Kel is just tired of mowing the lawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grass is definatly beneficial. We need green plants. What I propose is that we use naturally occuring plants. I live in the prairies and here is the view out my backyard. We have our nice little pocket of clean-cut water-guzzling grass. Then over the fence you get the natural prairie grass. Nobody ever waters it and it looks just as good if not better than what we grow. Just ripping up grass and leaving dirt would be incredibly harmful. What we need to do is put in plants that are part of the natural ecosystem. This uses less water, doesn't need to be fertilized or have pesticides applied and is much better for the animals in the area. There is one person on my street that already has prairie grass instead of lawn. I admire him greatly, unfortunately my parents arn't willing to follow his example. Oh well, I'll have my own house someday. God Bless, Keilan P.S. Giaour, I am definatly tired of mowing lawns, but that isn't my motivation here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but your suggestion would be harmful to the environment. I don't live in Florida. Perhaps for those of you who do, grass is a better solution. I'll say it again, I have no education in this field, and most of my ideas come from looking out my window and wondering how I could make this better on the environment. Perhaps in florida we should see if there is any ground-cover plants that consume less water than standard lawn. If there isn't, then lawn is the best option. I certainly don't know.

Man is not essentially animal, vegetable or mineral, but rather a very special member of the divinely created order outlined in Genesis Chapter One. The Holy Scriptures define Man as being made "in God's Image & His Likeness." This was never said of a cow, a horse or a pussy-cat! In fact, when God became "enfleshed" in John 1:1,14, it was as an identifiable MAN, not a member of the animal kind. Further, the first created Man, Adam, was different in both appearance & authority/order from the beast genre. And when Jesus came, He was called the Last Adam, like the first Adam a MAN, although without sin. How any sensible person could confuse Man & mankind with the beasts of the field, the large fish of the sea or the birds of the air has to rank as the Caper of the Ages! http://arthurdurnan.freeyellow.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this has very much to do with the overall demonic agenda to subvert the Word and Hope of Christ. Christianity says Christ came to save mankind. Satan wants to render us not worth saving.
