Surely now, in the 2020's, we know better than to cover our green open spaces with plastic? There is a bigger picture to the world than deliberately laying plastic on the ground. From Synthetic Grass Warehouse: "The actual green blade of synthetic grass is comprised of a polyethylene material, a common form of plastic that can be found in items such as bottles and plastic bags." and "Although no certified manufacturer guarantees synthetic grass to last more than eight years, high quality artificial turf can last between 10 to 15 years, depending on the wear and tear." Has a full and thorough investigation taken place to see if a natural alternative is "good enough"? From Greenland Seeds "Dwarf Amenity Ryegrasshardwearing, tough, drought tolerant, quick to establish, will tolerate close mowing to create a dense turf.Creeping Red FescueGrows well in the shade, drought tolerant, dry temperature tolerant, deep rooting system, needs moist soil, but once established it is a very strong grass type."
