He has a point... on his head.
Look, the lawn is native to damp Scotland. It works great in the Eastern US. If it doesn’t work great in Texas, say Texans shouldn’t imitate those Easterners. Leave us Easterners alone.
I have three lawn mowers (4wd push mower, birth of for the tractor and a 46” rider. Next year I’m adding a 54” zero turn. I have several acres of lawn and it is like a park. We never water, nor do we fertilize. Neither is necessary.
We live in KY. Mowing the lawn is a pastime here.
This guy can apply his sensibilities to his neighborhood and leave the rest of us alone.
