As someone who has been in a five-year war with my patch of patchy lawn, I can see the allure of artificial turf. But is there really a substitute for the feel of grass underfoot, or the smell of a freshly mowed lawn?
Thanks to a considerable shortage of water in the Cape, various products have been flying off the shelves, and suppliers aren’t able to keep up with the demand. Artificial grass is one of them.
The thing about growing a cracking lawn is that all it takes is one pesky rodent invasion and it’s back to square one. Perhaps it’s time we fight back and show those moles who runs this joint.
You spend hours watering the thing, protecting it from moles and praying you avoid the growing piles of dog deposits – why must having a lawn be such a drag?
