Spring is imminent. In fact, here in Virginia, Spring appears to have sprung a little early this year. As my lawn greens-up for the season, it occurs to me that my attitude about my lawn could be much improved with a slight change of view.
Last fall, I paid good money to have my lawn reseeded (front and back) after a very harsh, hot, dry summer. The good news is that my lawn is green again. The bad news is that they seemed to have planted more weeds than grass.
To resolve this issue, I've been googling how to delouse my lawn, there are all kinds of interesting rememdies including various concoctions made with ingrediants such as talcum powder, coke, vinegar, ground up bone, ashes, lemon juice, tea, and coffee among others. But as I was coming in today, I realized that this would be a huge waste of time. In fact, I think I can turn this in to a profitable idea.
After all, who said the best lawn is actually grass? I mean clover appears to grow in any conditions. It is soft, hardy, very green, smells good, and it flowers! How pretty. Oh, it is also self-weeding as it strangles the life out of just about any other lawn-type and it is an excellent, economical choice for new construction and other empy lots. And, best of all, IT DOESN'T REQUIRE MOWING!!!!!! So I'm going to suggest someone (not me, I'm too lazy), but the rights to this idea and market a new product...CLAWN! Clover lawns. I would be happy to provide my own lawn for marketing purposes. You couldn't ask for a better green idea! (Well, maybe this one....)
I can feel my paradigm shifting already! Woo-hoo.

2011-04: Green Sleeves
Now I know this is not a particularly innovative idea, but after 4 weeks of continuous illness at my place, I was looking at my laundry pile and getting very overwhelmed. If I could only just throw it all away every day, I thought. Life would be good.
I'm pretty modest and nudity laws being what they are, well, let's just say I'm not a good candidate for the "clothing optional" lifestyle. So I had to think of an alternative and here is it.
Compostable clothing. Made from a base of corn fibers ('cause I want to get myself a cut of the corn money floating around this country and I'm not really into hemp) and rice paper.
They would come out on a roll, like trash bags. Wear once or twice (if it doesn't rain) and toss. They would be desgined to disintegrate after a few rains and can be nutritionally enhanced with extra nitrates (and alfalfa enzymes which I hear is excellent for composting).
They would come in a variety of veggie dyed colors and dried flower patterns. They will be simple in design, but fashionable. (Just fashionable enough to wear without shame.) And, perhaps best of all, adjustable in size to account for the extra weight that some of us tend to pack on around the holidays.
Call today! Don't delay!
