Sovcit thinks tangling with the water company is a good idea. Water company disagrees.

Jebus. $500 water bill?!
My neighbor brags about his $400 water bill to keep his monoculture lawn green.
He always asks me what my secret is, but doesn't seem to believe that I've done literally nothing to my yard, so everything growing in it is adapted to our ecosystem.
Well, not literally nothing. I strategically neglect it in the spring so the shit that survived the last summer and winter can put down deep roots.
Someone here on Lemmy told me that if I didn't rake my leaves, my lawn would just turn into dead grass and slime and yet our lawn is covered in green grass despite our happily assisting our oak trees with their annual attempted murder plan.
I'm very sceptical our lawn wouldn't pretty much die if we didn't rake at least a little.
We have a single maple (probably a norway maple) tree and the leaves are very plentiful and quite big so they cover pretty much the entire (small) lawn and in some places to absolute perfection and in multiple layers.
