Sure, but the ongoing watering to keep lawns green is just utterly pointless. There is almost zero utility, and that water could be better used elsewhere?

Many many years ago, when I was little

My grandma lived in Brighouse and down the road from her was a woman that had paved and painted her front yard green

My older cousins convinced me it was because she was a witch.

I was sacred ####less to walk by it, and it was in the way to the chippy so we had to walk by it regularly
