The Editor,
Re. “Predictions of warm fall & dealing with region’s new weather reality” (The Tri-City News, Aug. 21).
Before the hot weather set in, I set my lawnmower to the highest cut range possible. My grass is still green! Meanwhile, the neighbours are paying for companies to mow the dirt that used to be their lawn.
In all of the news stories about the watering restrictions, I have not seen anyone say keep your grass at least four to six inches long during hot weather.
As a matter of fact, it is better during any time of year to keep your grass 4 to 6 inches long — it keeps the lawn healthy and helps keep the weeds out.
Why doesn’t Metro Vancouver tell people this?
