controversial clicky: watering the lawn

[Deleted]

As summer rolls on, I'm just curious what everyone else does.

no lawn here!

We live in a condo and have sprinklers. They are super annoying, though, because they are just on a timer. So, the weeks that sometimes go by in our summers where it rains on and off and we have little sun, it just turns all the grassy areas into a swampy mess.

We don't water our lawn at all. We're totally the neighborhood jerk faces that have the yellow lawn for most of the summer.

I really don't care though. I'm not watering my lawn for anyone.

I voted no. We didn't when I was growing up and honestly, with water truly being our greatest non-renewable resource, I just can't get behind having to have a green lawn. I will water our flowers (and especially edibles) but not the grass. The only exception to this is in a few places where we pulled out huge clumps of dandelions and rather than have more seeds just blow there and reestablish, we sprinkle grass seeds and water the new grass until it's healthy.

My tiny lawn gets watered when I water my herbs and gardens.

i thought you had a landscaper?

we water when we remember, but we're not that bad about it. our small grass patch is green 99% of the time.

Not a landscaper, but a yard guy. He just mows, edges the lawn, trims the bushes and weeds. He doesn't seed, fertilize or do anything of that stuff unless we pay him more.
