    All the work, materials, and water put into keeping all these lawns perfect green mono-culture carpets is incredibly wasteful and not good for the loca ecosystem. We wonder why the bees are dying off then look at miles upon miles of suburbia with nothing but grass and the occasional tulip or hydrangea bush as landscaping

      FYI I don’t water my lawn or fertilize it in any way. I just rake leaves in the winter so that grass (and a fuckload of dandelions - love em) can grow ASAP in spring without a layer of dead leaves blocking the sun.
