We run a Lawnbott over our grass to keep it cut, costs about 10 dollars a year in electricity to run it. The thing I like most about the robotic lawn mowers is they cut so often the grass breaks down very quickly and returns as instant fertilizer for your grass. So you can severely cut back on fertilizer and water. The ecological section on http://www.bamabots.com has more info on it. http://www.bamabots.com/article006.htm We grow a lot of Bermuda style grass around where I live, Kentucky Blue Grass is just too much maintenance.

Most lawn people do not like clover but it adds to the nitrogen of the soil. Plus the deer and wild life like it so (I think) they stay away from my plants except that obnoxious ground hog that loves everything! I agree with you about what we do to our lawns in the name of perfect lawns.
