Just wondering if you had a further update on your plight with Windsor Green. I just laid some recently, in Adelaide (northern suburb) after following similar advice as what you were given. Hopefully I have better luck (I’m trying to be optimistic)

Cheers,

Becoming a Traceur and being good at Parkour/Free-running is NOT easy. It takes hard work and years of training to ‘perfect’ the art although it can never really be perfected.

Watching a documentary or some youtube videos does not make you an expert Traceur. No sane Traceur would recommend you to try anything without supervision or safety precautions until you feel safe and can do these things. Fear is what holds back the body, so don’t be afraid.

Take safe precautions and injuries like that won’t happen.

I’ve been a Traceur for years now and have recently just turned 19. I never took lessons but I always trained with mats in the gym. Wall-runs, vaults, flips, jumps, rolls. I now do these things in many places and have travelled abroad to do Parkour.

Please be safe, for your own sake. It’ll be much more satisfying when you become a master but also safe.

I completely understand that it is unfair to derive a conclusion without all the facts. However it is preposterous for you to say that I do a disservice to a product if I’m not availed of all the facts. What are the facts I’m missing? You also say “your problem is your self”, which infers that I’m not looking after the lawn correctly. As a side note, you should be using the reflexive pronoun “yourself”, as otherwise you’re suggesting that I have multiple ‘selfs’. This would be a paradox, as there is no plural for a ‘self’ so to say.

My overall conclusion in the article quite clearly says that Windsor Green is not as drought tolerant as Santa Anna in our situation. I put it to you that you have little knowledge of our situation, i.e. our soil type, rainfall (very different in Adelaide than Queensland – West Moreton?), tap water quality, and shade cycles. It is pretty difficult to appreciate why you are so opinionated about inferring I am the problem here, and that I don’t have all of the facts to conclude that the lawn is not as drought tolerant as Santa Anna for our situation. It is possible that you didn’t read down to the end of the article where I elaborate on the post title, although I’ll assume that you haven’t written a response almost as long as the article without actually reading it

Other than the thought provoking blog title, at no point in the content of my article did I say or imply that Windsor Green is not a good product. All that my article has said is that it is not as Santa Anna! All of your points are completely irrelevant, because you have not addressed why Santa Anna grows better than Windsor Green for our soil type, weather, and shade cycles here in our garden in Adelaide.

Did the turf research institute rate this lawn with consideration to Adelaide conditions? If not, then the rating is superfluous to this blog article. Regardless, was the rating actually better than the equivalent rating for Santa Anna? If not, then the rating works opposite to how you’ve implied. Was the rating specific to drought tolerance? If not, then it is also irrelevant to this blog article!

What do you do to your pets? I’ve never seen a pet die from drinking too much water. All the pets I’ve ever seen stop drinking when they’re no longer thirsty. Not to say that a lawn wouldn’t suffer from root rot, or underdeveloped root depth due to too frequent watering, although considering the Santa Anna couch was doing fine, and none of the lawn was being watered until it started to wilter, I highly doubt that over watering was the reason that Santa Anna couch was

Talking about respondents that aren’t from my blog. What has this got to do with my blog article? Please, keep this debate related to this blog article. I could help you start your own blog if you’re looking for somewhere to generally express your wisdom. I do not sell website or blog services and have no vested interest.
