grassing over Explanation: that's our expression for 'planting grass/a lawn' Collins: grama -> Bermuda grass; (Carib) lawn Either Bermuda grass is a special grass for cleaning black water, or they want to make the area look nice and ecologicallly green with some nice grass! Couch grass is unlikely, unless it has the special cleansing powers, as it is a rampant weed - I can vouch for that! |
