Re: green lawn equipment, not green

You bring up some great points. Unfortunately it's still considered normal, almost "required," to have the standard grass lawn with the sprinklers going most of the year. I have come to think about this personally, but I keep falling short thinking about the long-term attractiveness of my home without having grass, especially if it should come time to sell the house. I have to be honest that I think for most people it would unfortunately still be a sore point for selling your house if you did not have the standard green lawn. If I knew that I was going to stay where I am for a very long time then I wouldn't care and would do what I wanted such as having a desert type of landscape that needed little if any watering. It would be wonderful if we had enough water in the form of rain so that we could store it to be used watering. I have thought about using grey water for watering plants and lawn, but I'm not sure how practical it would be.
