The water can travel through them at a greater speed, and thus has less absorption in an incline.
Also if you do not fertilize a lawn, or allow it to grow much longer, it loses its mono-culture.
It is that loss of mono-culture that allows the turfgrass to sustain itself without the addition of fertilizer.

Well I can tell you for fact that my grass certainly filters a hell of a lot better than what was there which was basically a river of mud flowing into the lake!
Whatever the hell “mono-culture” is, I’m glad it’s gone if it allows grass to grow without fertilizer!
We should all protest against mono culture!! Mono culture should be a banned substance! Who’s with me??
