People who spray their lawns with pesticides make me sick—both literally and metaphorically! You have no respect for the Earth or the people around you. You are poisoning future generations. You are helping to destroy your homeland. For greener grass. Disgusting! We have enough chemicals/toxins in our everyday life as it is, no wonder so many people are sick. —No One Cares About Your Lawn

Grow food, not grass!
we have a meadow
I have a LOVELY garden and a beautiful, lush, green lawn-no weeds either. My clothes are indeed clean. I can lick my toilet bowl. I am sane (enough to not want to cut off the heads of you dumb cunts). I am not sick, dying nor dead. All thanks to WONDERFUL CHEMICALS!
just let the clover grow. it’s a nice bright green, grows and spreads by itself, easily. smells good. you can eat it. keeps the kids busy if you tell them to go look for a 4 leafed. bees love it.
we have several types of clover in the yard, keeps the lawn healthy even in a heat wave
Chemicals also cure disease.
OB… you really need to take a look at what’s truely TOXIC
And that’s way worse for you
I’m talking about toxic food, which is any fast food resturant, processed so called food, factory raised meat & what’s even worse… deli meats, (any thing called a nugget…. yer better off eating the package it comes in), chips (snacks), the list goes on & on. If it says whole wheat or whole grain , eat as little of it as possible.
Yer better off bathing in those lawn products than putting most prepackaged foods, premade meals, canned soups in your mouth, its 100 times worse if you actually swallow it !?!?! & as for pop,soda or whatever you want to call it, just drink acid instead, its doing exactly the same thing to your body …the pure acid is just quicker !
OB, I think that the people who spray their lawns don’t give a shit, and no matter how much you bitch, they will continue. Sad but true. ( I don’t have a lawn, I have a deck, and a patch of pavement.)
we complained about our former neighbour, his lawn *maintenance* was eating holes in our driveway. he stopped but was not pleased
Oh those evil chemicals. Oh wait, people are made up of chemicals (some of which are toxic, especially after bathroom use. LOL). We don’t care about you OB. We need more chems.
partner actually plunks her ass on the “pretty’ lawn each evening for a spell and poinks out the weeds with a buck knife thingie. it keeps her from killing clients the next day.
the rest is meadow and stuff. i don’t know why muni’s etc keep trying to grow grass in public spaces. why not plant clover?
yes timothy but when your driveway is being eaten away you tend to worry about your dog. it’s not like he had a bubble over his lawn, the shit blew around, manure i can deal with
It’s the same as the people that turn their sprinklers on for 6 hours every night. Such a waste.
OB, educate yourself:acephate (Orthene) 1-15 day half-life.
azinphosmethyl (Guthion) 3-5 day half-life.
2 weeks of effectiveness.
Bt 4 hour half-life.
carbaryl (Sevin) Less than 14 day residual.
chlorpyrifos (Lorsban) 10-14 day residual.
diazinon 2-14 day half-life.
DDT had a half life of 2-14 years but it was banned.
^^^ hahahahahahahaha^^
like that is supposed to make OP all warm n fuzzy?
1-15 day HALF life, the operative word being only HALF and ‘nother operative word being DAYS
keep the pooch in for a couple weeks after your lazy ass neighbour sprays his turf?
Bitch 5. OP is disillusioned by those who obsess about their lawns and slather potentially toxic chemicals which could hurt man or beast. OP feels that these could leach into the soil or become airborne becoming a carcinogenic hazard. OP must understand that these folks like their lawns and obsess over their uniformity in a very OCD manner. They don`t care about others just the blades of grass. They are really quite insane.
Solutions. It`s not illegal to manicure a lawn so a) you could go and talk with the lawn guy and explain the impact he might, quite unknowingly, be having. b)seek out those who do not pick up after their dog, pick up after their dog and fling the poop onto the toxic green.
Hope I was of some help.
“potentially toxic” doesn’t cut it, either do your homework or shut yer yap. and stop collecting your green salad from my lawn, trespasser.
How about the people that spray (actually soak) themselves in skank juice. I’m not allergic to it but holy fuck…tone it down a notch.
