The Brady Bunch had the Right Idea
Okay, so maybe it was the 70’s and “Astroturf” kinda sucked, but todays “Field Turf” is pretty kick ass. I’m sure you remember my post last week “Come on down to Lake Pappagiorgio…” So its clear to say I have issues with my yard. But I was just looking at it, contemplating, and it just popped in my head, “Man, I wish I had friggen Astroturf or something. Then I really started thinking about it.
Why not? Todays Fieldturf is leaps and bounds better than Astroturf, and it looks just like real grass. So why are we still messing around with grass anyway? Its a total pain in the ass. You gotta mow it, water it, pull weeds, edge, and trim the damn thing. So why can’t we all have Field Turf for our homes? I’m sure they could create drainage systems to keep water off, and they could also come up with some kind of vacuum, for on occasion, when junk gets in your grass, but you’d probably only have to do that every few months or so, instead of once a week.
Of course, I’m sure the stuff costs an arm and a leg, and it would probably have a lot of technical issues to get worked out for domestic use, but hey, I’d sure as hell go for it! There is the obvious drawback of having your dog crap all over your field turf, but hey, you could always get rid of your dog! Sorry Boomer…my dog Boomer just gave me a hellacious mean look. I’m sure I’m talking completely out of my ass, but hey, its a funny thought, and my grass would be green all year round!


Looks pretty nice — I know I wouldn’t mind having some at least up close to the house so I didn’t have to deal with the dratted Bermuda grass getting in my flower beds. Dog crap I can deal with — no problemo there and don’t have to get rid of the dogs either.
