    Simply cut it as short as you can as often as you can and make sure you remove the clippings every time. Never water it. Eventually the grass will become exhausted and either grow less or die off to be replaced with mosses and weed growth (including wild flowers).

    I always envy the Spanish because so much of their grass is short and brownish and doesn't need cutting more than once or twice a year!


    Yea, brown grass with moss and weeds is so much nicer!

    Works for me. I don't cut the grass at all these days....
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
