Here in rainy Washington State the grass is brown....or in Eastern Washington, on fire.

If California needs rain I hope they get it next week. That will give
them a week to repair any damage before I get there.

It's a nice piece of land he has there, but with a sterile carpet of

The moroons are just envious because they know nothing about land
management... I maintain land for the benefit of wildlife... deer,
geese, waterfowl, frogs, snakes, lizards, etc. Deer and geese need
large tracts of lawn for food. I have a large pond and a creek for
maintaining wildlife, and plenty of forest for wildlife too... all
balanced. Geese, mallards, storks, cranes, and other waterfowl need
those large expanses for landing and take off, that's their airport.
Those large mowed areas are very important for maintaining wildlife. I
maintain brush piles, paths through wooded areas, vernal ponds for
waterfowl to raise their young, even areas for threatened plants.
Those jealous imbeciles don't have a clue about land management.

That's more like it. Your lawn argument doesn't hold water though.

I like it too. Buttercups only bloom in the Spring
and Queen Anne's Lace are chigger motels. I won't
even mention ticks. I see tons of birds in those
wide open spaces especially after it's freshly mowed.
They're on a mowed plot in a flash snapping up all
the insects that are now exposed.

You're an excitable chap, aren't you? Talk about thin-skinned, lol :)
It's obvious you put a lot of work into your land and are proud of it,
but you can't expect everyone to agree with your approach.

http://www.alicespringsdesertpark.co...spinifex.shtml

Spinifex (Triodia species) is a tough, spiky tussock grass that
dominates much of the red sand desert and rocky ranges of Central Australia.

Spinifex thrives on the poorest, most arid soils Australia has to offer.
It is Spinifex that has prevented our deserts from becoming a
Sahara-like world of bare, shifting sand.

Spinifex roots go down a long way: approximately 3 metres. Generally the
roots develop from the same nodes as the shoots so that each shoot has
its own personal water supply. The spiky leaves contain a lot of silica
which makes them stiff and rigid.

Spinifex is tough and indigestible to most animals except termites.
These tiny grazers thrive on the Spinifex litter. A grass thats very
poor in nitrogen and phosphorus poses no problems for them.

I'd have to see the land IRL to make a firm decision, but something
more productive/useful than just lawn. Sheldon has since posted that
the lawn is for the wildlife, but IMO if you wanted to go that route,
you could plant a mixture of things, rather than just 'lawn'. The
first thing that occurred to me was pasture for sheep or deer, but
then I raise sheep, so that's only natural.

I've never been a fan of large tracts of monocultured lawn, even from
an aesthetic POV <shrug>.

Maybe not everyone, but I have no problem with it. I have close to an
acre of land, more if you include the unopened road allowance that I
maintain. It is lawn. I have planted a lot of trees over the years I
have lived it. There is lots of greenery to suck carbon out of the air.

Everything is a "resource" to the economist, something to be "reaped".
To the humanist, on the other hand, that lawn is a thing of beauty. The
fact that the lawn is "alive" tells you that it isn't sterile.

If you really wanted to support the natural ecosystem you'd stop
feeding them and get some get some cougars.

Your pond looks more like a 10x25' puddle in the neighbors back yard
and the only stream I see is you ****ing into the pond. You have a
huge waste of land:

The moroons don't know it but cougars are already here, rare but here
nonetheless... see that path through the woods:

I bet the moroons don't have the cojones to walk that path at night:

Does a moroon shit in the woods, walking that path at night they will.
