An article in one of my 1950s Popular Mechanics magazines, with a photo too.A guy in Omaha,Nebraska paved his whole yard with concrete.The photo shows him relaxing in a lawn chair under a big umbrella and he has a cold drink.His neighbor is standing by his lawn mower and wiping the sweat off of his brow. I much prefer grass myself. cuhulin Well, I suppose some people use concrete as xeriscape - I think a colorful garden with native, low-water plants and a tile deck for sitting the shade would be nicer. I HATE watering this lawn all summer... |

I HATE watering this lawn all summer... They are going to build a new wastewater desalination plant at the low end of town. Sewer rates are going to jump dramatically, but you get an exemption if you use a minimal amount of water. Therefore I don't water (except what dribbles out of the cooler hose). The Bermuda grass and oleanders are doing fine. |

We get enough rain over here I don't have to water my yard, except for a
few places in my back yard where I put some Shady Lawn grass seed I bought last week at Hutto's yard and garden center on Ellis Ave.I am trying to get some grass growing in those shady places back there. cuhulin |
