Wasn't sure where to put this.  Maybe toxic gick is best?  Edit, nope, "lawn" is the right forum, feel free to move it there.

I got rid of my tiny urban lawns in my front and back yard years ago because I live in the desert, and it's illogical to have them here.

I do like the aesthetics of a bright green lawn, though.  

This video just blew my mind!  Non toxic paint to turn a dead lawn green?  I had no idea this was a thing.

I might give this a try.
