How to get a greener lawn

[Garvey]

My mate has told me watering my lawn with a dash of green food colour in the water will give me a lawn to die for. Is he having a laugh?

i should think so yes

People who water lawns should be set in stocks and have rotten veg thrown at them. It's almost impossible to kill grass and if it's not producing a crop what's the point of wasting a very precious resource on it.

There are actually companies that paint/dye lawns to make them green, i'm not joking, look it up.

My lawn has actually stayed green during this recent heatwave & drought, while all around are parched brown deserts.
I don't cut the lawn really short; it's got a fair bit of clover in it, which stays green; I don't water it.

I recently watered about 20 pots of toms on my lawn with tom feed in (arranged in a square). The other week I was so baffled at why I had a lush green square of grass, twice as tall as any other part of the lawn.

Then I remembered I'd placed the pots on the lawn to water them

Haven't mowed since dong that, and still have this large square patch. Planning to write a message to my wife next time I water them on the lawn heh. (nothing suppy or owt - I'm thinking 'Put kettle on love' - she'll *love* it!)

I new a woman who was kicked out by her husband (long story) then wrote "Cheating B*stard" on his manicured lawn - in 6 feet letters - in cress seeds

A good friend of mine, now sadly departed set up an exhibition stall with a small scale version of a football pitch with seeded soil and mini pitch markings as well. The whole lot was set up in a marquee and by the second or third day the grass was looking decidedly yellow.
They decided to spray the grass with a green aerosol. He was asked by numerous visitors to the show how he kept such a rich looking grassed exhibit? Of course he answered " Its all down to the skill of the Groundsman"

Seem to remember there is somoething you can add to a dogs drinking water to stop it scorching the lawn....................and its not arsenic!

[binley100]

It's probably something alkaline, but he helps himself to that many apples it'd cancel out the effect........

[Garvey]

Adding a substance to the dogs water so his pee doesn't scorch the lawn sounds amazing - Dragons Den territory. Any idea what its called?

Dog Rocks is one, there's loads of them
