This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is 100% true

Admen for companies like Monsanto in the 1950s pushed the idea of the “green lawn” and rebranded clover as a weed to push herbicides and nitrogen fertilizers

Clover is resilient with lower water needs, it’s softer, it naturally deters pests, and most importantly it pulls nitrogen from the air and pushes it into the soil.

What’s funny and sad is now they’ve come full circle and today’s admen realized they could capitalize on the instagram trend of undoing the damage of the admen from 70 years ago

Once again advertisers prove that they are absolute scumbags with no ethics whatsoever who will value making a dollar over destroying ecosystems

How am I supposed to use my Turf Builder® every 2 months, 4 times a year?

You skip the winter. For example, maybe you apply it in March, May, July, and September. (Or April, June, August, and October? IDK I don't actually fertilize my lawn.)

I could help but last time I tried to fertilize a lawn I got arrested.

Oh yeah, didn't think about that. Thanks!

Sounds vaguely socialist
