Agh, My Eyes
Jan. 4th, 2007 09:15 pmPollen allergies: bad. Pollen allergies when I have a lawn to mow: worse.
I don't want to spend money, burn petroleum products, and violate my privacy to have someone else come and mow my lawn. I don't even want a damn lawn, because I'm allergic to it. But here in cool, moist, sunny New Zealand, my little place is surrounded by a thick, velvety, well-established lawn. Getting rid of the grass - grass is a late-evolving rhizomal plant, the plant equivalent of rats/mice/cockroaches, designed to conquer all challengers in marginal environments - will be difficult. I'm tempted to put out a whole lot of white clover seed and let it all fight it out.
