A lush green grass

I just walked past a yard with unusually lush green lawn for this time of year, and very neat at that. In contrast, the rest of the garden is overgrown and messy, with dry crumpled leaves everywhere and overgrown shrubs and trees.

It took me a moment to realise that this incongruity was due to the grass being AstroTurf.

This made me wonder. Do you rake or sweep the leaves off AstroTurf?

    Look more closely. Are they pretend leaves?

    I did think of you and your blog D-rock. You would have had a field day with this place! There were the odd red roses peeking through the scrub, an old hills hoist stark and skeleton-like and creaking in the icy breeze. Real grass was sneaking up around the edges in some patches. They even had a pile of what looked like grass clippings on the AstroTurf.

    I almost took a photo, but decided against it. I might go back and take some snaps to email you...
