Tutti Frutti Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 So Mr Frutti and I disagree... When we first got the girls, they had grass in their run and of course DESTROYED it. Mr Frutti says it's cos it was a LITTLE area and they dug it up and turned it over. So now Mr Frutti's thinking about our lawn (ex lawn, it has ceased to be). Actually it was more moss than grass and he'd given it a thorough raking so the girls had a field day and now it's all gone. Mr Frutti now wants to turf it and says, because it's bigger than their run (but only about 16m2 - not big), their scratching will be spread out so won't be fatal. He thinks they'll just keep it neatly trimmed and save him mowing the lawn! I say, they'll scratch and dig it up and to put the netting back to limit their FR access! Does anyone have any words of wisdom for me (ahem, HIM) please?!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Yes, we thought that too My OH thought that we would never need to use the lawnmower again, he was right but not for the reason he thought He planted grass seed last week, they even ate the seed I think we are destined to never have grass again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chick wiggle Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Nahhhh, I say let them roam, they will neatly trim the lawn, give lovely sharp edges to the flower beds and even leave stripes running up and down the lush verdant green grass.

Tutti Frutti Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 I can just picture your girls lined up with their running lanes marked out, with them alternating their top and tail starts so they give you your perfect lines! Well I can picture it anyway And hang on a mo... I've never EVER had lines - even WITH a lawnmower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 There used to be a lawn on the other side of my decking And can anyone spot the size difference between my Euphorbia, lavender and rosemary?!
