    I have to take this one step further- why do we even have lawns! ?? :)
    Seriously, we spend tons of many on gas mowing them, the lawn mowers pullute the hell out of our air, lawns were historically a thing for aristocrats to use as a middle finger & show off to the poor … we could grow native plants, organic herbs and food instead - that dont require chemicals or mowers. Keeping the air way cleaner, bills lower, and have fun gardening & being creative too.
    A lawn is a blank pallet that needs to be tilled and let grow.

    I totally agree!! Have you heard about the KILL YOUR LAWN campaign? I’ve wanted to post about it. It’s a nation-wide movement to turn residential lawns into wild gardens with flowers, herbs and veggies!! It’s pissing off a lot of neighbors! Love it. I’ll research and post more about it. For now, here’s a great story out of Oregon:
