I'm sure that you're right about the best way to get rid of weeds.
However, I don't really hate them. If I cut the lawn a little on the high side, the weeds don't look bad -- unless you look closely.
Bottom line: for my purposes, it's not worth the time and expense to make the lawn perfect, as opposed to pretty good (pretty good by my standards -- which is different from West Australian standards:biggrin

I do cut the grass frequently... because it's fun and great exercise to mow.:smile:
It's hard to explain but a lot of the grass that I have is beyond the reach of hoses -- those areas have to fend for themselves.

In Australia.....in Western Australia.....in Perth.........90% of home owners have reticulation...even on some larger areas up to 10 acres.......but they are on 'Bore'........as the water bill would be a few hundred dollars a week.
Water costs around 90 cents per 1,000 litres in Perth........so it is not to bad for domestic customers.:wink:
Hey if it were not for weeds in some of the places I mow ... it would be bare earth...
If it's green and mowed my pasture even looks GREAT and I know there are weeds in it... :smile:KennyV

What type of weeds are they?
Some weeds you have a legal responsiblity to make sure that government authorities know about them.
Severe fines can result in you walking off your Farm.........if you hide a declared weed!
...if you hide a declared weed!
Don't hide any ... I mow everything ... except trees, but I get some of the smaller ones of them. :smile:KennyV

A farmer was harvesting his Wheat crop and it was infested with 'skeleton weed'......he may have been cutting the straw down really low perhaps a few inches.....to hide things.
He was dobbed in by a employee.......the result was not good .......whole of 'Farm' quarantined for 5 years.Farmer went broke and had to pay huge compensation.
So the moral of the story is you must declare your weeds if they are on the hit list!:confused2:

As far as I know there aren't "declared" weeds in the US.
I'm also a little unclear about what you're saying. Are you saying that: (a) the weeds are a protected species and you aren't allowed to destroy them; OR (b) the weeds are very undesirable for some reason (non-native, invasive, destructive) and it's illegal to have them on your land, lest they spread.
