There is something uniquely infuriating about lawn care as something you're required to do just by social convention Putting all this effort into maintaining something you don't actually use in any sense but that you have to have because of an HOA or to maintain property valueshttps://twitter.com/drvolts/status/1374421917038379017 …

You would be amazed how little we know about living organisms in soil to our detriment.

Grass, no wildlife finds it appetizing, just the antiseptic conventions of mid century gardening. Kill your lawn, give wildlife and soil a chance.

The house I grew up in, in the northeast, had a lot of "lawn" but no way was Dad going to do more work than getting rid of the spiney weeds. Once it was small-child friendly, it got mowed when he felt like riding the riding mower. Lots of green, much of it edible.

In a lot of the US, people could have the (or "a", I guess, because for some people that is the point) lawn aesthetic without monocrops & toxic additives.

I mean, i desperately wish to someday have a yard again. But it's never going to be a "lawn" -- it's going to be local ground cover of some sort, including (if i can swing it) lots of moss, which is the best-ever thing to walk on barefoot as well as naturally insect-resistant.

Umm, so, don't have a lawn? There are lots of other groundcover options.

My preferred option involves no living organic matter if at all possible
