I've been tossing up the merits of changing out our 100 sq metres (1076 sq feet) of front and back lawn from scraggly real grass to artificial lawn.
At face value, artificial lawn seems very anti-mustachian, what with its plastic environmentally-unfriendly construction, high acquisition cost and lazy no-care maintenance. But long term, the maintenance savings add up and should eventually exceed the acquisition cost, thus making it cost effective. And although I am fighting fit at 44 and able to mow and trim my current lawn with ease, that will not be the case forever as I gracefully age. Finally, water here in Australia is a scarce commodity and is getting more expensive by the year, so saving water has both an environmental and an economic benefit.
To me at least, the pros and cons seem pretty balanced.
What do other Mustachians think?
