Your Ass is Grass - and so is this Lawnchair!

Far cheaper than landscaping your garden to the shape of your butt - here's the ultimate in grassy knolls for the horizontally challenged: a recliner made from real grass and dirt.

I'm hoping it comes with watering instructions cos I kill every plant I ever buy. And definitely, I don't wanna have to weed this baby or get wake up with a stinging nettle for a pillow.

Blurb tells me the lawnchair is made of renewable steel, rubber and felt and finished/upholstered with a layer of 'ground cover' - I'm thinking that means 'dirt'. And it's got its own built-in 'moisturizing' system (I'm thinking that means 'sprinkler')

But the blurb leaves out a lot of important details like whether or not it needs weeding or weekly mowing in the summer - and whether or not you can convert it to a daisy or clover cover design. And for those among us who aren't from the watery northern hemisphere, how about a sand version?

I'm in two minds on this one: looks kinda cool and maybe if there were a few more of these about I'd consider concreting over my garden - or laying a few end to end to create a cool raised pathway - but is it really more comfy than a Lafume 'zero-gravity' recliner? Don't we get cushioned recliners so we don't have to sit on the grass?
