Somehow, I get the feeling that whatever spends time in his lawn will be suffering from lymphoma in just a few short years.

it is called TURF DYE and is used by lots of golf courses.

Many years ago I worked on a commercial in Cypress Gardens FL, they had a terrible drought and everything was brown, except Cypress Gardens!
That is, unless you strayed off the paths open to the public, then you would plainly see how they had sprayed EVERYTHING with various hues of this stuff, except the back sides which were still brown.

The company apparently designed it for use on grass, but I'd imagine this still wins you a visit from the local environmental protection agency.

/also it's still unpleasant dead grass so you can't walk on it or anything like that

I've enjoyed not mowing my brown crunchy lawn for the past month. I just have to go out at pluck the few weeds that are actually still growing.

Its cheap and it works.

And its already been approved by the EPA, I can pick up a bottle for $12.00.
I don't use it, costs less to put in the right amount of micronutrients.

Thank God I don't have a lawn. Goddamn holdover from aristocratic manor houses. If I did have a space for a lawn I'd probably piss off the neighbors by putting in a giant garden to actually, you know, produce food or something.

And if you made it look like this, you're neighbor's probably wouldn't even mind.

Yup, came here to say basically this. Turf Dye is very common on golf courses and sports fields. Also becoming more common in HOA developments as management companies hand out citations for poor-looking lawns. I was told by my HOA to get some, so I just dug out my front-yard grass and replaced it with rock. Stupid Arizona landscaping...
