They tell us recycling is good for the environment.
I thought grass was a CO2 sink, not that anybody who understands the science should worry about a tiny increase of plant food.
Have you noticed that comments are no longer allowed to Ms, Gray's articles? Bless her, she makes me laugh!
I liked this expression in one of the comments: "You can take a horticulture but you can't make her think".

My lawns were sown 26 years ago, and have never been watered and even after a long dry spell are still green also I have planted over 100 trees some of them are over 40ft high, and
they have not been watered either the world has become more bountious thanks a little extra
