Song Lyrics: (chorus) There’s a zombie on your lawn There’s a zombie on your lawn There’s a zombie on your lawn We don’t want zombies on the lawn I know your type: tall, dark, and dead You want to bite all the petals off of my head And then eat the brains of the one who planted me here I’m just a sunflower but see me power an entire infantry You like the taste of brains we don’t like zombies I used to play football Road cones protect my head I have a screen-door shield We are the undead (repeat chorus) Maybe it’s time to reevaluate I know you have a lot of food on your plate Brains are quite rich in cholesterol You’re dead so it doesn’t matter, Instead we’ll use this solar power to make a lawn defense at any hour I like the tricycle There’s butter on my head I’m gonna eat your brains (repeat chorus) written & performed by: Laura Shigihara www.mybluedream.com

Question by LWIRE98: How to keep my neighbors lawn grass from invading mine?
I am fixing to plant Zoysia grass for my lawn and my neighbor has St. Augustine. I believe Zoysia is more dense and will overtake his lawn. I need to know how to keep the two seperate(from growing over one another) while still being able to mow without obstruction. What I really want to avoid is his grass from invading my lawn. I think those metal boarders you can hammer into the ground would work, but how high to I need it to be above ground level to effectively keep the lawns seperated?

Best answer:

Answer by Lawnboy & Luna
Not high at all. Lawn grass, at least most types (not crabgrass) generally spreads by underground shoots, not seeds blowing around. So the metal border can essentially be pounded all the way down to soil level.

I also think your Zoysia is the more aggressive species, so it is your neighbor who should be worried. Do you live where Winter is an issue? I am pretty sure Zoysia turns a very odd light brown in Fall, at least in Massachusetts.

What do you think? Answer below!

    Wow way to pay an homage to the world by donating the front yard of your American suburban home to becoming a symbol for something you don’t even clearly define.

    Obama is rich, he doesn’t care about your symbols.

    THIS is a great Idea, and should be done around the globe well done.

    you’re too easy NWMike. :)

    you should remember it, because my “ignorant, self-righteous, and arrogant socialist” and “pseudo-intellectual” ass gave you a point for point beat down. hahhahah

    anyway, i didn’t really care, i just saw the article and it made me laugh remembering you and this video.

    this time i don’t even care to debate you, you’re clearly an idiot.

  4. northwestmike says:

    You must be a pretty pathetic fucking loser to try and restart a debate from MONTHS ago. I don’t even remember what I wrote. LOL. I just remember your ignorant, self-righteous, and arrogant socialist attitude. The fact of the matter is that the economy and environment would BOTH be WORSE OFF if we had 300 million Americans trying to grow their own food. I know it doesnt fit into your romantic hippie-bullshit paradigm, but its a logistical and scientific fact.

  5. timaloha says:

    Sure. I was against plowing up the entire WH lawn to make a veg garden as the video suggests. I am not against a small garden in the rose garden . You’ll notice that I said I support the cause such a garden would represent. Fortunately, it was just announced that the Obama’s have today started a small (1100 sq ft) veg garden in the rose garden. I guess we can both be happy.

  6. bryancostanich says:

    according to CNN, they planted their kitchen garden yesterday. doesn’t that just piss you off NWMike? hahahaha..

  7. OnTheCahaba says:

    Would you care to elaborate exactly why you think a vegetable garden doesn’t reflect the dignity of a nation? A vegetable garden can be as beautiful as any flower garden. There is no reason herbs, fruits and vegetables can’t co-exist alongside the flowers in the Rose Garden. Vegetables don’t have to be planted in a straight line. Manure fertilizers don’t have to be used. I’m just not understanding why you think this would reflect badly on Americans or the president in general.

  8. timaloha says:

    The presidential mansion is more than a residence. It is also where the great decisions of the day are made, where dignitaries and leaders are feted, where sweeping legislation is signed into law, etc. It SHOULD be stately and reflect the dignity of the nation and the presidency. Rows and rows of vegetables and manure fertilizers do not fit the setting. I’m a NOFA certified organic lawncare expert, and, while I support the cause, the White House is not the place for an organic vegetable garden.

  9. burntchestnut says:

    An excellent video and how timely! Even if you don’t have a yard, you can plant tomatoes and other vegetables in large pots. Some Botanical Gardens or local communities have small plots where people can grow vegetables. Check it out or get one started.

    Now I wish I had a lawn. 5/5 :D

  11. dianeames says:

    Has anyone converted an in ground pool to veg garden?

  12. argusmoon says:

    Inspiring! I hope this happens! Castro asked all Cubans to plant gardens and that was the only way they survived the economic catastrophe after the USSR pulled out supports! The whole world’s problems can be solved by gardens: pollution, stress, food shortages, etc. Go Obama!

  13. Rockwellneighbour says:

    I am so happy that you used Woody Guthrie’s recording. I think this is the first time I heard him with all of correct words…..but on the back side it didn’t say nothing..
    I have read the words in sheet music but I don’t remember hearing it. Thanks for posting.

    I try and grow as many plants as I can on my rooftop garden. Red,yellow and orange sweet peppers. Apple,pear, pomela(type of grapefruit) tangerine,lemon trees.

  14. JOROSS2 says:

    It could feed the visitors waiting in line to see the White House.:)

  15. AngieMom57 says:

    I thought I saw a clip that said there were already 13 gardeners for White House upkeep, so just divert them from the rose garden to the organic garden. Besides, didn’t you see the part that put the average mileage that food has to travel from source to fork?

    Community gardens used to be very popular, and gardening is a great way to reduce stress.

    Who knows, may be President Obama has a green thumb ;-)

  16. LifeIsGoodFarmGirl says:

    I think it is a GREAT idea! I would vote Yes for it. We pay for really stupid stuff that we don’t agree with, so I would be happy to share the cost of something that I agree with. Nice work on your video.

    Thanks for that. Really instructional, smart and inspiring. I’m appreciative of your efforts. favorited.

  18. bumblebeefightergirl says:

    What a good idea! But now I’m hungry…

  19. madmardygan says:

    Who exactly is going to tend to this garden? Do you know how much money it will cost with how over inflated the budget is? So both president’s say they will par it back line by line but can do nothing without a majority vote anyways.

    why dont we take on an amedment tothe bailout 70100000000 dollar, 1 more for your garden

  23. Amanicangel says:

    I believe what confused me the most about your comment is you thinking I don’t know how long “cutting” or “self-harming/mutilation” has been around. The statement I made had nothing to do with timeframes whatsoever. And just because a person is “emo” does not in any way whatsoever define their sexual orientation nor preferences.
    Calling me a faggot when you don’t even know me was a bit outta line but lol.. hey it’s cool.. after all ignorance is bliss.

  24. Amanicangel says:

    What a fantastic(!) response. *big smile from me* Thank you for making my day a bit brighter with your highly emotional and in generally inappropriate comment.
    My friends and I got a wonderful laugh out of it.
    Have a great day!
    Peace. =)

    You must have a big garden XD.

    We have one in our backyard and we still have to go to the store every so often. It’s probably because the Turkeys and my Grandma are sharing it with us…
