On the more serious side. My lawn always sucks. Every year it gets thinner and the snowkill gets larger and takes longer to heal. I blame the constant salt spray. It seems to be stronger than the annual liming can handle.
We also have to research every shrub and flow er we plant unless it's on the protected side of the house to make sure it handles salt OK. What's really funny are the pine and spruce trees that look wonderful on one side as you come down the driveway and then when you get on the salted side, you realize it's only half a tree. The salty side has burnt away.
I'm actually hoping that the thyme that covers my neighbors yard eventually works it's way over and completely invades my lawn. It's seems to do great in the salt, doesn't need cutting as often, is soft to walk on if kept short and best of all it smells great when you walk on it.
