I was just looking at their planters, they have very little width to them and I imagine they can’t be that deep for rooting purposes what with all his excitement with concrete ever other meter for all his fencing - it’s actually impossible to plant “heavily” in that garden. It’s yak and fake, just like Clemmies teeth! Stand down Kew you have nothing to fear.
Not very enticing for birds/ insects either....it's the likes of Fodney we have to thank for the lack of biodiversity in our towns/ gardens
I understand what your saying in the short term but long term is the grass compostable? Or recyclable.
Have been reading your posts with interest & think this is such a lovely thing to pivot into. It sounds silly but even prior to having a baby I had a smear done by an ex-midwife and just instantly you’re relieved & comforted because you know their medical experience is top tier and they’re pro woman so going to listen and look after you. You’ll really help a lot of women in that role
I guess it’s like anything- depends what you’re willing to pay for how long it might last. My neighbours have it, and when I was seriously considering it last year they dug out their receipts and theirs is 13 years old. I didn’t even know it had been around that long and theirs seems to have last pretty well. You can roll it back and add more sand to refresh it if it goes lumpy.
Gotta be honest I absolutely hate the idea and the concept of fake grass in the same way I hate the concept of any hard landscaping (eg just flagging over everything). My grass is a pain in the arse and often too dry/too wet, too long/too short, too mossy/too mushroomy etc etc, but it does attract the bees, the birds and various other wildlife (including my lovely hedgehogI guess it’s like anything- depends what you’re willing to pay for how long it might last.

Meanwhile in that time I’ve gone through two lawnmowers- the first of which was a decent brand but at 8 years old was impossible to repair. And my neighbours haven’t consumed any lawnmowers! It really is much of a muchness- when you also factor in that a lot of folk water their lawns endlessly during summer to keep it alive, use chemicals etc fake grass does start to become an environmentally friendly option. For me it’s the wasteage of lawnmowers- all that manufacturing/machinery/the power each time you use it is more than a roll of plastic grass. I also did try to let mine grow more this year in between cuts but it just attracted all the local cat tit
I have to say I’m most surprised about the fact Fod claims to have paid to have his installed?? Would love to know how discounted it was!! And what it would have looked like if he’d done it
). I love early mornings and evening seeing the blackbirds hopping around digging up worms, I feel all David Attenborough and like I’m doing something good without doing anything at all 
the entire house and garden is like 2017 Instagram projectile vomited all over it
This is why I love tattle, people can discuss things from both 'sides'. I guess I'd never thought of lawnmowers as a consumable product.I guess it’s like anything- depends what you’re willing to pay for how long it might last.
