Drip irrigation systems are simple and cost effective. Set one up to provide for plant life surrounding the house to provide shade, privacy, visual appeal. Anything beyond that perimeter has to make its peace with Momma Nature, and any testy neighborhood denizens can keep their opinions to themselves. Lawns are a Suburban Matrix. Eat the red pill, Peo.

Wild analogy. Like it. And drip systems are using the brain instead of the concept of more, more. The thought of infinite water is a fantasy. The spigot can run dry.

Water distributes more or less equally no matter where it enters the ecosystem. Regular liming, mulching your cuttings back in for necessary organic matter and/or composting augmentation and a shot of beneficial nematodes in an natural approach can work. Research various grasses like fine fescues for various targeted problem or shaded areas in spring and/or fall routine light overseedings keeps your ear to the ground. Removing your grass cuttings is a big reason why it costs so much to artificially replace all what that robs from your soil
