Lawnmowers.  The third or fourth bane of my existence, right after homework and terrible sleep schedules, and possibly yardwork in general.

I never really understood the point of yardwork.

[EnigmaticHat]

State of your yard affects neighborhood home prices, is the idea.  When real estate prices go down, its pretty much the same thing as losing money if you live there.

Would it bring down my taxes?

Actually, yes. But would you deprive your local school district of your delicious property taxes? Think of the children!

That's a good point. You only want your home to have a high price if you're actively trying to sell it. Otherwise lower is better.

And either way, what's the point pf having a lawn in he first place? Why not stones or astroturf?

I wish astroturf.  Although it's too big for a stone yard at my house.

Because plants are nice?

Also doesn't help with flooding.

Which I s'pose only really matters if you live near a river or the sea, or aren't quite high up...

Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with having grass. At least as long as you aren't watering or fertilizing it. If you have to regularly do either of those things just to keep the grass from dying, alternative arrangements will probably serve you better anyway.

Being the only grass garden in a street of concreted over gardens?

Then all the floodwater would be absorbed by the now wondrously lush marsh you have in front of and behind your horribly water-logged house.

[Bouchart]

You need a lawn to tell those young whippersnappers to get off your lawn.

Plants are nice:Why you have gardens.

Plants are nice:Why you have gardens.

Plants aren't nice.

All they do is make you sneeze and cry and the insects are EVERYWHERE. Goddammit plants.

You can't even eat all of them.

I dunno, flowers are good for romancing people.
And a potted plant will brighten any office a bit.

Depends how sensitive they are to pollen

I'm just a pragmatist, so the idea of having something that exists purely for aesthetic value is bothersome.

Plants are alright, it's just the amount of effort that goes into maintaining the bastards for that aesthetic value, really.
