Go Climb It
You're not here to be combative but my post is "hastily conceived and partially false?" That's almost good enough to quote all of it!
I'm not here to stop any industry. Everyone has a right to participate in asinine and mundane concepts such as obsessive lawn maintenance. It's a lot easier to work with Nature than against.
But whatever, basic ecology is too much for some to handle.
I wouldn't bother obsessing over something as easy as having a lawn that is clean. I sharpen tools anyhow regularly. And if you wasn't angry and militant, you'd find that IPM and pathogen resistant cultivars/dwarf plants is the name of the game in turfgrass. If you will have an open mind, I will. We can be friends.
