THE GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FENCE
有趣现象.
每次割草的时候,总觉得邻居的草地长地比我的好.密密的绿绿的.自己的好象这里缺一块,那里黄了一片.可有一天从两楼的卧室往外一看,刚才还觉得稀稀拉拉的草地突然是密密绿绿的. 邻居的还不如我的哪.站到邻居的草地往自家一看,和脚下一比,不禁失笑. 那边的密密绿绿,脚下的稀稀拉拉.
还是的,草有三寸高,要是死了一块两寸宽的.从上往下45度角一看,正好看见后面草的草根.硬是没看见没草的那一块.突然觉的心宽了不少. 只要是把草割齐了没太多杂草.门前走过的人还会觉的本懒人半死不活的草地长的不错.
大大阿Q一把!!

草坪累人
我看，根本上要怪还只能怪这北美一片土地上多长恶种杂草。像原来在国内，凡是大体上人多一些的开化之所，哪里听说过、看到过这么邪恶的杂草？为了不让这些邪恶的杂草横生遍地，就不得不想出借草坪来掩盖丑陋，费时、费事。白人自己的统计都说北美是个over-grass 的地方，一般家庭每年用水的60% 要用在室外，而其中90% 是浇草坪用的。护理草坪又是全部园艺工作中最耗费工力的部分 -- 为了那二、三天的好看，能把人腰累断了（所谓back-breaking work）。可一旦有个三、五天不在意，再去补救就得更麻烦去了。
说斗、斗的，也并不是每家每人都承担得起、或者愿意承担的。恐怕你跟草坪斗的时候，也不免会想一想是不是有些吃饱了撑的。-- 这话玩笑了，别介意。我的主要意思是说，毕竟洋人的想法、习惯，跟咱们大多数中国人的有很大不同，养不养草坪这件事就是一例。虽说是入乡随俗，可洋人不是讲科学吗，不是讲市场吗，怎的就没发明出个把玩意让大家节水、省力、少耽误功夫在破草坪上？要知道，即使是洋人，也不都好护理草坪这一手，所谓懒的人也并不少啊。

Dear Tim,
I heard somebody says that we need to have cover all the yards with new soil before fall & winter. My questions are : 1, Are they just trying to provide more nutrition to lawn ? 2, If I follow your instruction above, do I still need to buy new soil for the yards before winter even I do put fertilizers for the yards ?
Many thanks,

No! you don't need to add soil every year. Soil should be added as needed. The bulk top soil you buy usually has weed seeds, you will guarantee a big weed problem if you do that every year. Add soil when your lawn has very thin soil, you have a thatch problem.
When seeding a thin spot, add a little soil helps. But other than that I don’t see a need for it.
Some “organic fanatic” against use any chemical fertilizer, but they still want a lawn. Our lawn is not a natural “organic” grass land. It wouldn’t survive without fertilizing. So they have to add composts or top soil every year. It costs more and lot of work.
If you want a better lawn than average, one more thing you can do is water it. You can water it once for two hours per week if there is no rain. You water bill will go up for sure.
