That's really odd. Am I the only one who finds that really odd? We never did stuff like that as kids. At least TP is biodegradeable.

Oh yes. My dad's golf team (he coaches high school girls golf) has done that to our yard in the past, generally the night before the state tournament. It accompanies TPing around here.

I did it on occassion back in my high school days. It was a good option when there were no trees/bushes at the house of choice. We never used clear forks though.

The best part about forking is doing it when the ground is going to freeze so the forks get stuck in the ground.

We had a fraternity fork their letters in our yard once, it was kind of funny. We did it back on a much larger scale.

I was wondering what color forks they were. I figured that using clear ones would defeat its purpose.

Weird. I don't think I've ever seen forking done here.

Free lawn aeration, anyone? It beats those strap on shoes with the spikes on them you see in the Skymall catalogues.

** Lawn Aeration **

Lawn Aeration is vital to a healthy lawn. It allows water, air, and nutrients to reach the root system of your lawn. The healthier your root system the healthier your lawn will be on the surface. Areating plugs small holes throughout the lawn surface and should be done every other year.

Way more then a New Yorker who will never have a lawn to maintain needs to know.
