Succah on garden lawn

Posted: Mon, Oct 10 2011, 11:35 am Post subject: Succah on garden lawn

This year, our (larger) succah is going to sit on actual lawn instead of on paved patio. Does anyone else have similar set-up?

Is anyone aware if there're halachic restrictions/something to be aware of for eating/sitting (but not sleeping) in the Succah on YT and Shabbat, aside from obvious ones like not spilling the netilat yadaim water on grass? We thought of putting some cardboard on the ground (plastic is too slipprly) except it's inevitably going to rain here and I don't want to end up with (gross!) wet decaying cardboard at the end of YT.

Can't get hold of our regular Rav who's on his way to EY...

your lawn will get ruined but luckily its the beginning of winter.

spillage is the only problem. Get a plastic tarp to put on the ground.
