Subject: The “perfect” lawn and other side effects

Like Carol Taylor, I also noticed some non-sequiturs in Tim Keim’s comments on “The Perfect Suburban Lawn”.  I understand that Tim has the best of intentions – protecting the natural world on which we all depend – and I salute your objectives.  You’ve just made a few conclusions that don’t necessarily follow from your observations.  As Carol suggests, when you get a good rain, earthworms will do the same things humans do during a flood.  You saw it on TV when New Orleans flooded; people headed for the roof.  Earthworms likewise leave the flooded soil regardless of whether fertilizer has been used.  The fact that they are there and able to emerge suggests that the lawn treatments have not been fatal to them.  Possibly their death is the result of their high sensitivity to the ultraviolet light they encounter when they leave the flooded soil and have to wait for the waters to recede.

Art-lovers are feeling a great void these days. Our North Carolina
Museum of Art is closed while the world class collection is moved to the
new 127,000-square-foot state of art facility. Dan Gottlieb, the
museum’s Director of Planning and Design, is one of the people
shepherding this delicate operation.
