Inspired by the recent thread on lawn care, I'm wondering how many take a more hands-off approach to their lawn.
Personally, I have never watered, fertilized, or applied any weed-killer to my lawn and I've always felt that it looks just fine. I don't mind dandelions or violets in the lawn, I actually think it looks nice. If there's a dry spell and the lawn turns brown, that's fine with me, it means no mowing for a while, and it will turn green again when the weather changes.
Okay, I'll admit that part of this might be my laziness, but I've also become aware of the environmental impact of traditional lawn care and I prefer to take a more environmentally sound approach to everything in my yard.
So, not being judgemental, I am curious where others fall on the spectrum of lawn care. If you pay someone to do your lawn, answer as to how you tell your lawn people to maintain your lawn.
