Water? You water yours?
Mine gets watered (and you can tell) where I drag the hose out to water the
garden...
If I get around to installing drip irrigation this year even that will stop.
I'm pretty crusty when it comes to lawns, why do I want to pay big money to
grow grass?

You haven't been to our house! We don't do anything but water
and mow. Once it gets hot, we can mostly dispense with the
latter. Our clippings are mulched right back into the grass.
Well, at least _some_ of it is grass.
It serves many purposes for us. Firebreak, security buffer,
killing field (aka the dog's dismemberment shop of Randomly
Found Dead Things), car washing area...
