Denver columnist laments the green menace of lawn care. From planting costs 150 to 500 dollars to watering woes and flood damage, the piece chronicles seedbeds turning to gullies, ant invasions, car footprints, and rapid growth. It ends with a playful jab at a lawn disease blamed for ulcers.
lawnmower manufacturers plan leaf removers inspired by vacuum cleaners and small powered snow shovels as they push toward tougher steel mowers.
