While local lawns are now a much more popular choice, many homeowners still cling to the grass that they have always known. This is understandable and change can be difficult for all of us-but as soon as your neighbor starts with a not so subtle side eye, the lines are crossed.
You will find many reports of such interactions in the R/F *** lawn forum from Reddit. The subreddit is devoted to people who imagine a future without monoculture grass. It also offers those who live near people who would rather die rather than realize this future.
For example, take an aggressive neighbor of a Redditor, passive-aggressive neighbors:
The article entitled “Us vs. Our Neighbor” describes a typical conversation between this local lawn representative and your opponent next door.
“Every time we work outside in the front yard, our neighbor comes to 'talk'. And as always says [us] They prepare to spray iron into their garden to free it from moss, and we giggle that our whole garden is moss so that we never have to mow it, “says the lettering.
“Then they looked at our front yard and groaned all over the clover,” continued the original poster. “We didn't have [the] The heart of telling them that we actually spread clover seeds, we only say: “Oh, we let the domestic ground cover take over so that we do not have to spend money to pour them and mow time.” 😁 “
Having a monoculture grass while your neighbor becomes native shouldn't be a big problem. The actual problem is passive-aggressively complain about your (environmentally friendly, inexpensive) decisions.
Fortunately, it doesn't seem as if this sudigic neighbor is ready to take things beyond snooty comments. A commentator suggested that the neighbor could spray the moss and clover of the operation while they are gone, whereupon the operation replied: “You would never come to spray our garden … it would be so out of character for you or anyone in this neighborhood.”
Nevertheless, neighbors like this create a barrier for the environmentally friendly lifestyle. However, jumping this barrier is worth it.
The commentators have both conveyed and laughed and laughed with the operation.
“Yes, pay attention to neighboring neighbors,” you joked.
“In the meantime in R/Rasen: 'How can I get through to my neighbor how she can get rid of her moss and clover, don't take up any of my hints,” joked another.
