The Truth About Fake Lawn

I knew there was more to it than people say: it needs to be VACUUMED and POWERWASHED. Well maybe not exactly powerwashed… but uses water just the same….

PART FIVE: THE BIT ABOUT OUR NEIGHBOURS’ ASTROTURF-TAMING

Other bizarre Subterranean of Suburbia fact!

Our front lawn is actually astroturf.

Fake lawn.

Flawn.

Like the kind you find cute little porcelain piggies and lambsies dancing on in butcher’s shops. Remember, this is not by our design, as we’re renting.

However, our next door neighbours regularly water their astroturf.

To get the dirt off it.

I’ve also seen them vacuum it.

TRUE!

Oh, hi there!

I was a garden blog pioneer, and began writing on this blog in 2003. Before that I had begun a garden website that has been at its own domain since 2006, Ilona's Garden.

I still love writing, gardening, and art after all these years, although travel and grandchildren have become a big part of my life, now.
