The bit the plastic grass sellers don't tell you! @shitlawns.bsky.social
Post on facebook group "Any fake grass professional cleaners ? We hoover it, wash it, brought the fancy tools even before but it just looks flat & crap 😑 would love someone to come & revive it ?"Comment on the post "Have you tried electric artificial grass sweeper? Get one for around £150 , (Amazon) had mine for years brings my grass up lovely I even get stripes and it picks up all loose debris saves all that hand racking"

Reply from original poster " I tried this but it made it uneven because it sucked up a load of the concretey stuff underneath 😫"

With record temperatures and very little rain before Summer has even begun, we need to start taking better care of our natural world for wildlife and climate. An easy start is to ban lifeless plastic gardens 📝 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Depressingly there's enough business to support a brick and mortar fake grass shop near me, but I did laugh at the advert in the window. So much for the reduced maintenance and cost saving from not mowing! £40 to RENT or £200 to buy an artificial grass hoover! What a crazy world we live in!

Landscapers that lay astroturf profit from destroying your local ecosystem. Neither consumer or contractor pays the true cost of damages. Pavan Sukhdev calls this concept the "Economic Invisibility of Nature" and this is something that our Government need to start acknowledging.
